Valentine's for Veterans is an experience not to be missed! Community members of all ages gather at Bend Church—United Methodist between 9:00 and 11:30 a.m. to spend a heartfelt morning making handmade Valentine's Day cards for U.S. Veterans. It's a great chance to connect with other folks and give back on this special day!

Camp Fire provides all materials for this free, public event! Completed cards will be delivered to service members at the regional veterans hospital on Valentine's Day.

While crafting away this year, everyone will get to hear firsthand about serving in the military, thanks to Camp Fire's guest speaker and local veteran, Dennis Guthrie, who served as a U.S. Army medic in Vietnam.
