It’s that time of year again where we have Project Share the Love!

Every year we ask for any and all to drop off handmade Valentine’s to brighten the day of some of our most deserving. This year we are asking for 300 Valentine’s to give to the residents of Sunflower Care Homes of Emporia, Homestead of Emporia Assisted Living, Emporia Presbyterian Manor, and Flint Hills Care and Rehabilitation Center. Kids and adults alike are encouraged to dig into their Valentine artistry that was honed in grade school and make a little statement of love for those that need it!

Drop off at Emporia Arts Center, 815 Commercial inside the building in the Big Valentine Mailbox. Last day for Valentines, Saturday, February 10th before we close at 3:00pm.
