State Rep Jackie Haas is launching her third annual “Valentines for Veterans” program to bring joy to local veterans in her 79th District. Representative Haas invites all area residents to participate in making handmade valentine greetings with well-wishes for our veterans. Valentines will be accepted at her district office, 370 E. Court Street in Kankakee, until February 10.
“Our veterans are a big part of our community, and these valentines are a small thank you to show our appreciation for all they have done and continue to do for us,” said Rep. Haas. “This is the third year I’ve done this program, and I am continually impressed by how our community comes together to spread a little joy to those most important to us – I know this year will be no different.”
All ages are invited to create a card or drawing. Cards will be delivered to 79th District veterans at the Manteno Veterans Home in time for Valentine’s Day.
For any further questions about the event, please contact her district office at 815-523-7779.
