❤️ Spread the Love This Valentine’s Day! ❤️

Richland County Children Services, the Mansfield United Lions Club, and the City of Mansfield Parks and Recreation Department are teaming up to make Valentine’s Day extra special for children in foster care.

We’re collecting Valentine’s Day cards for kids in foster care, ages 0-6, 7-12, and 13-18. Cards can be handmade or store-bought—just leave them unsealed. Feel free to include a kind message of love and support!

C/O Valentine’s Day Cards

Why It Matters:
In Ohio, more than 16,000 youth are in foster care, and many miss out on Valentine’s Day exchanges. This project is a way to show them they are loved, appreciated, and not alone.

Last year, over 9,000 items were collected, spreading joy across Richland County and beyond. Let’s make this year even better!

🌟 Join us in spreading love and kindness this Valentine’s Day. Every card makes a difference!
