Congressman John Shimkus is once again asking constituents to participate in his annual “Valentines for Heroes” program. The congressman’s district offices will collect valentines for distribution throughout the region to veterans and those currently serving in the military.
This year, valentines will be accepted at Shimkus’ offices until February 9th and will then be distributed to local VA and military facilities before Valentine’s Day.
Valentines may be dropped off or mailed to:
- 15 Professional Park Drive, Maryville, IL 62062
- City Hall Room 12, 110 East Locust Street, Harrisburg, IL 62946
- 101 North Fourth Street, Suite 303, Effingham, IL 62401
- 201 North Vermilion Street, Suite 325, Danville, IL 61832
Constituents should return signed valentines without addressing them to a specific person; without signing their last name or including their address; and without sealing them in individual envelopes. All valentines are reviewed for content and appropriateness before distribution, and constituents can call the congressman’s Maryville Office at (618) 288-7190 with questions.
