Creativity Flourishes on MLK Jr. Day of Service

Posted on 01/28/25 by Marjorie Wertz

On MLK Jr. Day of Service, AARP volunteers serving on Cupid Crews across the Commonwealth used their creativity to begin crafting beautiful Valentine’s Day cards and organizing hundreds of roses for delivery to the residents of nursing homes and assisted living facilities on February 14.

Gratitude comes in all sorts of ways; a smile, a touch of a hand, a brightness in the eyes, and a softly spoken ‘thank you.’ Creating and delivering these small tokens of caring to those who may feel isolated and lonely lets them know they have not been forgotten. In return, you will feel an outpouring of gratitude with every card and rose you deliver.

Thank you to our wonderful volunteers! Learn about Cupid Crew and how you can get involved this year.
