Xoxkitkat encourages everyone to write a love letter this Valentine's Day!

Even if you don't have a boyfriend or girlfriend this Valentine's Day, you still have a reason to let someone know you care! Love Letters is one of dosomething.org's latest campaigns to encourage kids and teens to help brighten the days of older adults in need. They ask everyone to make at least one homemade love letter and send it to a Meals On Wheels organization to give to a homebound senior who is at risk for suffering depression or feelings of loneliness. All those who participate are even entered into a chance to win a $4,000 college scholarship! It's a simple and rewarding way to spread the love.

If you're interested in showing a senior citizen that you care, Do Something has provided specific guidelines to reaching out this Valentine's Day.
