House Minority Leader Tony McCombie is hosting a “Valentines for Veterans” Card Drive and is asking Northwest Illinois residents to join her in helping to lift the spirits of local veterans.

Once the cards are collected, they will be delivered to veterans in communities in Northwest Illinois.
“Veterans sacrifice everything to serve and protect us and sending a Valentine’s Day card is a small token of our love and appreciation for them,” said McCombie. “Last year our community created countless cards and I am excited to continue to spread joy through this program to those that mean the most to us.”
Valentine’s Day cards will be accepted through Wednesday, February 7. Participants may deliver or mail cards to State Representative Tony McCombie, 9317B IL Rt 84, Savanna, IL 61074.
