Today, thousands of people living in nursing homes and assisted living facilities will be receiving Valentines from Desert Ministries volunteers! A simple gesture that says: "Someone cares about you," goes along way in alleviating depression, loneliness, and feelings of uselessness.
A very big thankyou to KGBI, Hy-Vee and all of the great people and organizations that made and donated Valentines, numbering well over 5,000!
Yesterday, a great group of people spent the day sorting them and preparing them for delivery today. Everyone living in a nursing home or assisted living in the Omaha/Council Bluffs area will get a Valentine!
We'll be posting pictures and emails from the volunteers later today or tomorrow.
