Women United, local agencies share the love this Valentine's Day

To celebrate Valentine’s Day, Women United of Greater Niagara members are sharing the love by continuing their annual trend of distributing handmade valentines and chocolate bars to those in need.

Led by Niagara Falls Boys & Girls Club CEO and Women United member Rebecca Vincheski, youth at the club crafted handmade valentines with construction paper, ribbons, markers and plenty of glitter. Women United provides the custom chocolate bars, and the valentines are ready to be delivered.

On Tuesday morning, Women United President Joanne Beaton, Vincheski, and United Way of Greater Niagara President and CEO Andrea Gray gathered at Community Missions of the Niagara Frontier to deliver the valentines.

A press release noted, “Community Missions provides integrated human services that meet people where they are and help them find and elevate their place in the world.
