Our WACOSA 1st Ave participants teamed up with Spirit Radio and Comfort Keepers to create a beautiful batch of handmade Valentine's Day cards. Each card was crafted with care and lots of heart 💖The Valentines were delivered to assisted living facilities in St. Cloud and the surrounding communities to spread the love all around.

It’s incredible to see how a simple gesture can brighten someone’s day and remind us all that love and connection make the world a little warmer. Thank you to everyone who helped make this heartwarming project possible! .9
