Be My Valentine Kits

Even more fun than receiving Valentines is making them for friends and family. Kids in shelters, hospitals, low-income schools, after-school programs, community centers and foster care transition homes, could have fun making their own Valentines for family and friends if they had the materials.

Your club can assemble Be My Valentine Kits and deliver them before Valentine's Day.

Steps Involved:

  1. Choose the recipients.
  2. Call the agency, school, shelter, etc. and ask if they would be interested in receiving kits, how many kits would be needed and the day you should deliver. Ask if they would like you to stage a small party to make Valentines together. Bring refreshments.
  3. Collect items through your sponsoring organization, or ask each member to bring in one of the required materials.
  4. Call a meeting and assemble the Be My Valentine Kits. The kits should contain equal amounts of craft materials.
  5. Enclose a home-made Valentine from a "Kid Who Cares"
  6. Deliver the Be My Valentine Kits.
