Cupid Crew
No matter the age, we all need connection to thrive physically and emotionally.
But over one in three adults age 60 and older feels lonely. Together, we can help older adults feel loved and connected.
Why it matters
Over one in three adults age 60 and older feels lonely. Cupid Crew is changing that by mobilizing volunteers nationwide to deliver roses and cards to older adults on Valentine’s Day. For many older adults who are lonely or going through a tough season, these Valentine’s Day visits mean everything. Join the crew to help love grow!

Corporate and community sponsorships
That’s what Vital Life did, and they told us, “Having a chance to show our love on Valentine’s Day is something pretty special to us.” See how Cupid Crew and Vital Life sparked joy together.

Frequently asked questions
What should I include in my card?
Consider adding an inspirational quote, a poem, or a friendly message to let them know they are not alone and that their community is thinking of them. As long as the card is appropriate and stays away from political references or inappropriate jokes, sayings, or drawings, you can’t go wrong!
Get creative and have fun.
How many cards can I decorate?
Where do I deliver cards to?
Once you create your heartfelt cards, it is up to you to decide where you would like to deliver those cards. If you don’t have any older adult contacts and would like to get involved, please contact us at volunteer@wishofalifetime.org.
Whether you decide to deliver them to a local older adult community or a friend’s house, be sure to call in advance and let them know when you will be dropping off the cards.
How should I deliver cards safely to living communities for older adults?
If you are dropping cards off at a residence or living community, follow any posted safety guidelines related to cold and flu season. You may want to consider wearing a mask even if it’s not required. Whether you decide to deliver them to a local older adult community or a friend’s house, be sure to call in advance and let them know when you will be dropping off the cards.
