Valentine’s Day is still a month away, but Congressman John Shimkus is asking his constituents to start working on some now. The congressman is collecting valentines for his annual ‘Valentines for Heroes’ program.
Valentines sent to Congressman Shimkus’ office will be distributed to veterans throughout his district and sent to those currently serving in our military.
‘’Thousands of valentines have come into my offices every year since we began the Valentines for Heroes,’’ said Shimkus. ‘’Elementary and middle school classes, church youth groups, homeschoolers, senior citizens and constituents from every part of the district have been overwhelmingly generous and supportive of our military men and women, past and present.’’
This year, valentines will be accepted at Representative Shimkus’ offices until February 9th and will then be distributed to local VA and military facilities before Valentine’s Day.
Valentines may be dropped off or mailed to Congressman Shimkus at any of his district offices, including the one in Danville.
It is located at:
201 North Vermilion Street, Suite 325, Danville, Illinois 61832.
