Our WACOSA 1st Ave participants teamed up with Spirit Radio and Comfort Keepers to create a beautiful batch of handmade Valentine's Day cards. Each card was crafted with care and lots of heart 💖The Valentines were delivered to assisted living facilities in St. Cloud and the surrounding communities to spread the love all around.

It’s incredible to see how a simple gesture can brighten someone’s day and remind us all that love and connection make the world a little warmer. Thank you to everyone who helped make this heartwarming project possible! .9

Our WACOSA North Program participants worked together to create this wonderful winter diorama—and the results are a winter wonderland! Activities like this help build creativity, boost self-esteem, strengthen fine motor skills, and encourage teamwork, problem-solving, and communication. Most importantly, they give individuals the confidence to express themselves and take pride in their accomplishments.
