ALAMEDA, Calif., Feb. 11, 2025 /Standard Newswire/ -- For nearly two decades, Acts2 Network has been spreading love and kindness on Valentine’s Day by hosting its annual Valentine’s Day of Compassion. This year marks the 19th edition of the heartwarming event, where over 2,500 volunteers across its 35 cities are expected to visit elderly care homes and shelters across the country, sharing the gift of presence, thoughtful presents, and meaningful programs with residents.

Since the event’s inception, Acts2 Network, a church planting network part of the North American Mission Board, has brought together nearly 20,000 participants who have made more than 1,000 visits across cities like Oakland, CA; Boston, MA; Fairfax, VA; Minneapolis, MN; and Austin, TX. Each visit provides a unique chance to connect with residents, offering small but meaningful tokens of affection such as flowers, picture frames, and socks—gifts that go beyond material value to touch hearts and create lasting memories.

At each visit, volunteers engage with residents, sharing conversation and companionship. One resident reflected, “Imagine how much better the world would be if we tried to love people the way we did today, every day.”

Acts2 Network’s Valentine’s Day of Compassion is more than an event; it’s a celebration of community and empathy, reminding us that love is a universal language that transcends age and circumstance. Through this initiative, Acts2 Network continues to foster connections between generations and provide opportunities for individuals to make a tangible impact on the lives of those who may otherwise feel overlooked.
