Other Ideas
Throw a ‘care package party?’ Have guests bring equal numbers of various sanitary/ living supplies (toothbrushes, travel sized tissues, toothpaste, non perishable snacks, etc.). Have the kids assemble these care packages in gallon sized ziplocks and (of course), include a handwritten Valentine of some sort. Divide up the bags among guests. Bags can be kept in the car and handed out to people in need as you see them in your community.
Finally, everyone likes to take home a favor at the end of a party… How about this sweet Valentine that uses scripture AND chocolate?
