Saying I Love You

Love is in the cards this Valentine’s Day, and the YMCA of Greater Cincinnati is making sure it reaches every corner of our community.

How to share the love…

• Visit a participating YMCA location

• Pick up your free Hallmark Valentine’s Day card

• Write a heartfelt message

• Drop it in the box and let the YMCA send it to your someone special

This Valentine’s season, the organization is giving members a heartfelt way to connect through its “1,000 I Love Yous” initiative.

Through this heartwarming program, YMCA members can send free Hallmark Valentine’s Day cards to their loved ones—because nothing says “I love you” like a handwritten note straight from the heart. The effort is part of the YWCA’s ongoing mission to strengthen relationships and build a more connected community, one love note at a time.

The goal was 1,000 cards, but now the YMCA is shooting for 3,000 love notes before the end of the week.

“We know relationships are so important and this type of programming is a key to our mission: improving family relationships and friendships. It's a big part of what we do at the Y,”said Jeff Saunders, vice president of brand experience at YWCA of Greater Cincinnati. "Bonus points if you send a card to someone you haven't said ‘I love you’ to in a while.”

Members can stop by all YMCA locations to sign and address their free cards, and the YMCA will take care of postage and mail them to their loved ones!
