Project: Share the Love!
“Then let us be led by love. The world moves for love. It kneels before it in awe.”
Come share the Love!! It’s EAC’s Annual Share the Love Project for Valentine’s Day! 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 400 Valentine’s to give to the residents of Sunflower Care Homes, Emporia Place, Friendship Center, 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. Need them all by February 10th 5:00pm
-Be they immaculate or simple may they all be filled with love-
