Blue Ridge Touched Hearts in the Community
OUR 10TH ANNUAL TOUCH A HEART INITIATIVE RESULTS ARE IN
Through incredible support from individuals, schools, and civic groups, we were able to deliver over 11,000 handmade Valentine cards to 93 local organizations. These cards then made their way to nursing home residents, veterans, soldiers, caregivers, hospital patients, and others who may not have otherwise received a personalized Valentine’s message this year.

TOUCHING HEARTS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY
Community outreach is important to us here at Blue Ridge, and the outpouring of community support for this initiative has truly made a positive impact. Here is what some organizations had to say about our 2023 Touch A Heart initiative.
“Thanks for remembering our residents with kindness and creativity. You may never know how much you've blessed so many today with this thoughtful idea! All in all, what a beautiful way to say YOU ARE LOVED!” – Mt. Hope Nazarene Retirement Community
WellSpan Health, another recipient of cards, also commented on its Facebook page, “WellSpan Ephrata Community Hospital leaders handed out valentines throughout the hospital. Thanks to Cindy Buch Mellinger from Blue Ridge Communications and Valentines By Kids for the wonderful cards!” – WellSpan Health
