Have your kids mail a Valentine to share with a local senior.

Have your kiddos make a Valentine to share with a local senior.  It only takes a few minutes to put a smile on someone’s face, providing an emotional boost for seniors in nursing homes. 

Covid- 19 has changed the landscape of "normal" for our entire world. For seniors living in nursing homes and assisted living centers, feeling lonely and socially isolated has been one such side effects. Use your creativity to decorate and personalize a valentine card, then drop it in the mail to one of the local senior centers that are accepting Valentines for their residents this year. 

Here are a few local centers that I called to confirm that they would LOVE to receive Valentines for their residents. Feel free to reach out to others in our area. This is just a small list, as Sun City has many assisted living centers supporting our senior community. 

Sun Towers Retirement Community (250 residents, 30 residents in memory care) 101 Trinity Lakes Dr Sun City Center, FL 33573

Inspired Living (30 residents) 1320 33rd St SE, Sun City Center, FL 33573

Our Butterfly Home (6 residents) 207 College Ave W, Ruskin, FL 33572

Belvedere Commons of Sun City - (37 residents) 758 Cortaro Dr, Sun City Center, FL 33573

Freedom Plaza Sun City Center - (100 assisted living and memory care, 70 in skilled care, independent living 540) - 1010 American Eagle Blvd. Sun City Center, FL 33573 

There are many more senior living facilities and nursing homes in our area that are not listed, but that does not mean you are limited to just the facilities in our article. Feel free to reach out to the establishment of your choosing and ask if they would accept Valentine's Day cards through the mail or by drop off for their residents. 

Did you send a card(s)? I'd love to see them!! Please send me an email with photos and I will feature them on our Facebook page thanking everyone!

Macaroni Kid Apollo Beach - Ruskin - Wimauma is also making up treat bags for 323 of our local seniors.  I’m purchasing all the supplies or you can donate them if you would like to help. And of course you can adopt a senior Valentine by donating $. You can PayPal me with this link...  https://www.paypal.me/Angela79 or Cash App $mackidab if you'd like to help fund this huge project. Any donation amount would be greatly appreciated. ❤️
