MURPHYSBORO – As Valentine’s Day approaches, State Senator Terri Bryant (R-Murphysboro) is once again working to uplift the spirits of local senior citizens through her annual “Valentines for Seniors” card drive.

Sen. Bryant is asking students, scout groups, churches, and other groups to consider creating homemade cards that will be delivered to nursing homes, assisted-living facilities, and other long-term care facilities throughout the 58th Senate District.

Cards can be mailed or dropped off from now until Feb. 5 to one of Sen. Bryant’s district offices, which are located at 1032 W. Industrial Park Rd. in Murphysboro and 2929 Broadway St., Suite 3, in Mt. Vernon. Cards that are being dropped off in-person can be placed in the marked mailbox inside the offices between normal business hours, from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.

For questions, please call 618-684-1100 or email Kathy at kwills62950@gmail.com.
