Rep. Haas Hosts 4th Annual Valentines for Vets Program (State Representative Jackie Haas (R-Kankakee) is launching her fourth annual “Valentines for Veterans” program for local veterans. Cards can be dropped off at Rep. Haas’ district office, located at 370 E. Court Street, in Kankakee through Monday, February 12th. The cards will be delivered to veterans residing at the Manteno Veterans Home in time for Valentine’s Day.

“This program is a great way for us to honor our veterans by showing them some appreciation around Valentine’s Day,” said Rep. Haas. “Veterans have sacrificed so much to protect our nation, and this is a small way for us to share our thanks. I am always so pleased to see our local community turn out for this program each year to support our veteran population.”

All ages are encouraged to participate by creating Valentines with good wishes for veterans. Questions about the program can be directed to her district office at 815-523-7779. For more information about Representative Haas, visit RepHaas.com.
