2019 Operation Heart to Heart - Valentines for Troops Information

590 valentines and cards were collected by local Girl Scouts, brownies and daisies, Newtown High School, NYFS Social Rec Groups and various community members.

NYFS partnered with American Legion Post 202 Newtown to coordinate with the local soldiers who received the cards and distributed to members of their unit. The cards were divided up and sent to troops in South Korea, Afghanistan and a naval ship at sea. Take a look at the video below to see some of the amazing cards and valentines that were collected.
