DES PLAINES – State Senator Laura Murphy is continuing her annual holiday card drive to spread cheer this holiday season for residents at local long-term care facilities.

“The holiday season is a great opportunity to spread joy and love to seniors living in our community,” said Murphy (D-Des Plaines). “Making these cards only takes a few minutes but can lift up someone’s day.”

Murphy is encouraging residents of the Northwest Suburbs to write handmade or store-bought cards to help bring joy to older adults who may be feeling lonely or isolated during the holidays. Children are also encouraged to participate.

Cards can be mailed or delivered now through Dec. 17 to Murphy’s office at 1645 South River Road, Suite 7, Des Plaines, IL 60018. Cards can be dropped through the mail slot.

“We have continued these card drives every holiday season since 2020, and every year has been a huge success,” said Murphy. “I look forward to continuing this tradition and supporting seniors across the district this holiday season.”
