Hearts & Hugs! Valentines for Seniors
Positive Charge! PDX's family-friendly tradition of creating sweet Valentine cards for our senior friends served by the Meals on Wheels People is back!
Last year, this initiative brought in over 2,100 beautiful handmade cards from artists of all ages, all over Portland—and made the recipients of the cards so very happy.
Let's make their day!!! ❤️❤️❤️
