This Heart Month, we’re honored to share words that come straight from the heart. ❤️

“Your service has been very helpful to my mom and stepfather.
Allowing him to get healthy after some heart issues has been invaluable and continues to give him necessary time to recharge and get some freedom.
I truly appreciate you all!”

Moments like these remind us why care is about more than tasks. It’s about trust, compassion, and showing up when it matters most. 💜

💌🚗 LOVE IS ON THE MOVE! 🚗💌

Our hearts are full as our amazing volunteers head out across Polk County delivering hundreds (and hundreds!) of Dear Senior Valentine cards! Thank you, Rachel, Sandie, and Kelly for sharing the love. 💘 Thank you to all the Meals on Wheels and VISTE volunteers!

Each stop represents more than just a delivery — it’s a reminder to our seniors that they are remembered, valued, and deeply loved by their community. From handwritten notes to beautifully decorated cards, every single one was created with care and kindness.

Seeing the smiles, hearing the stories, and watching these moments unfold is exactly why we do what we do. 💗

Thank you to every student, family, business, church, and community member who made this possible — and to our cupid volunteers who are spreading joy one senior at a time.

Senior Care, Only Better. 💙

Some love stories are written over decades. ❤️

Tom and Joan have shared a lifetime together. They built a family, created lasting memories, and stood by one another through every chapter of life. When Tom experienced a medical episode and needed extra support, their journey took a new turn, and Senior Helpers was honored to step in and help.
