Schneider to Collect “Valentines for Veterans”
Constituents are invited to submit cards and letters thanking local veterans for their service this Valentine’s Day
LINCOLNSHIRE, IL – Today, Congressman Brad Schneider (IL-10) announced the launch of the Tenth District "Valentines for Vets" program to collect and distribute Valentine's Day cards to local veterans.
Constituents of all ages are encouraged to participate by dropping off cards in a drop box at Schneider's Lincolnshire office. The deadline for submissions is Friday, February 10, 2023.
"I am delighted at how the Tenth District community has embraced this program over the last seven years as a way to give back to those who have given so much for our country.," said Schneider. A small gesture like a Valentines card is a much-appreciated way to let our district's veterans know they are loved and appreciated. I'm glad our office can help facilitate this program connecting constituents and our service members.
This is Schneider's seventh year hosting the program. In previous years, his office collected more than 1,000 cards from constituents and area schoolchildren, which Schneider distributed to veterans at Lovell Federal Health Care Center and a breakfast of the Lake County Honor Flight.
Schneider's office is located at 111 Barclay Blvd, Suite 200, Lincolnshire IL 60069. There will be a drop box outside the front door of the District Office, beginning January 13th.
Constituents with questions should contact the Lincolnshire office at 847-383-4870.
