We are feeling the love this Valentine's Day!❤️ As part of 's Project Cupid, local kids across the metro area made Valentine's Day cards to be distributed to residents in long-term care communities. Our friends at Y98 St. Louis's The Bret Mega Show surprised Bethesda Southgate and Bethesda Dilworth residents with the heartfelt cards, featuring some of the artists themselves! Our residents adored receiving such wonderful gifts and being reminded that they are loved - on this day and every day!💌
