Join the City of Longwood for a Valentine's Day Card Workshop for Hospitalized Children

The City of Longwood is excited to announce a special event where the community can come together to spread joy and love to hospitalized children across the nation. Longwood City Hall will serve as both a temporary creative workshop and a drop-off station for handmade Valentine’s Day cards for Cards for Hospitalized Kids, an internationally recognized charitable organization that delivers hope, joy, and magic to kids in hospitals through uplifting
cards.

Event Details:
2-Day Creative Valentine Card Workshop
Location: Longwood City Hall, 175 W Warren Ave, Longwood, FL
Dates: February 05 – 06, 2026
Hours: 9 AM – 4 PM daily
Cards Mailed: February 07, 2026

How to Participate:
Residents and City team members are invited to create personalized Valentine’s Day cards for hospitalized children either at home or at City Hall during the workshop event dates (02/05-02/06). 

For the workshop, all supplies will be provided such as paper, markers, stickers, and more. If you prefer to create cards at home, simply bring your completed cards to City Hall by February 06, 2026 during the workshop for collection. We ask that all participants review the guidelines for making these cards prior to submission. 

Once completed, all cards will be sent on February 07, 2026 to Cards for Hospitalized Kids, an organization that distributes them to children’s hospitals and Ronald McDonald Houses across the country. These handmade cards provide encouragement, positivity, and a sense of connection for children who are facing medical challenges.
