SANDPOINT — What started as a way to bless Sandpoint seniors with a valentine during the COVID-19 pandemic has turned into an annual county-wide activity that impacts thousands.

Last year, over 2,000 cards were distributed to seniors through a program started by Donna Price.

“This started when COVID hit our community and many seniors could not leave nor have visitors,” she said. “I have continued it because many participants enjoy doing this and for some past recipients, it was their very last Valentine's Day.  Knowing that smiles were brought to their hearts and faces is what keeps me doing this.”
