Valentine's Cards Donated In Solano Co. Will Go To Sick Children

The sweet cards will be given to hospitalized children who won't be able to attend a Valentine's Day exchange at school.

VACAVILLE, CA — Some of the greatest gifts one can give cost nothing at all. The Solano County community is invited to donate handmade cards that will be given to children who are hospitalized and will likely miss their Valentine's Day card exchange at school. The sweet program is hosted by Kids Care Dental And Orthodontics and 106.5 The End radio station.

Cards may be dropped off until Feb. 5 at any Kids Care Dental And Orthodontics location. Last year, the donation drive garnered 50,000 cards.

In the North Bay, cards are being accepted at 196 Nut Tree Parkway in Vacaville.
