    ALPHA GAMMA DELTA VALENTINES

    YOU CAN MAKE A HOMEBOUND SENIOR'S VALENTINE'S DAY A LITTLE BRIGHTER

    Did you know that 50% of Meals on Wheels recipients live alone? Limited mobility can make this social isolation even worse, often times leading to loneliness and depression that can lead to a decline in health and overall quality of life. But you can make a difference! 

    This Valentine's Day, Alpha Gamma Delta is teaming up with Meals on Wheels America to ensure seniors are not missing out on any of the love. With a simple gesture of a hand-crafted Valentine’s Day card, we can remind thousands of homebound seniors across the country that they are not forgotten.

    All you need to do is rally your sisters to create Valentine's Day cards! We'll match you to a local Meals on Wheels program, and their volunteers will hand-deliver your heartfelt cards to homebound seniors and/or senior center visitors. It's that simple!

    SEND SOME LOVE!

    EASY STEPS FOR GETTING STARTED:

    1. Simply fill out our brief interest form letting us know you want to be matched with a local Meals on Wheels program. We will connect you to any programs in your area that are interested in distributing Valentine's Day cards to their home-delivered meal recipients or senior center visitors. 
    2. Once we've connected you with a representative from your local Meals on Wheels program and you've agreed to a card count and delivery plan, you can begin creating Valentine’s Day cards. Use construction paper, markers, stickers and other craft supplies, but please NO GLITTER. We ask that you also stay away from religious or political messages. Need some inspiration? Download the Alpha Gam card template here.
    3. Snap pictures of your cards and sisters as they craft to share on social media. Be sure to tag Meals on Wheels America and use #MealsonWheels #AlphaGamServes. 
    4. Deliver your cards to the local Meals on Wheels program no later than February 10, 2023 so that they can be included with meal deliveries or during events on or around Valentine's Day. If you won't have your cards ready by this date, we encourage you to create more generic notes of love and appreciation to be delivered later in the month.
