Box of Love Project
United Way of Central Kansas, in partnership with TruStage, AllStaff, Chtd. and University of Kansas Health System-Great Bend Campus, is thrilled to present the annual Box of Love project—a heartwarming initiative designed to deliver Valentine’s Day surprises to homebound seniors in Barton and Pawnee Counties.
Boxes of Love will be delivered to seniors who receive Meals on Wheels or ElderCare Home Services. UWCK also collaborates with local senior centers and nursing homes to share these thoughtful gifts with elderly residents across Barton and Pawnee Counties.
Send a Box of Love
Would you like to brighten someone’s Valentine’s Day? For just $15, you can purchase a Box of Love for a friend, family member, or neighbor. Each box will be delivered right to their doorstep on Valentine’s Day, ensuring they feel loved and remembered.
A Personal Touch
Our community partnerships make this project truly special. UWCK works with daycare centers, schools, youth organizations, and individuals to create homemade Valentine’s Day cards for every Box of Love. These heartfelt messages add a personal and meaningful touch to each package, bringing warmth and connection to the recipients.
"The Box of Love project is a wonderful way for the community to come together and show our appreciation for our homebound seniors. It's a small gesture that can make a significant impact on the lives of those who may feel isolated," said Charell Owings, Executive Director at United Way of Central Kansas.
What’s Inside the Box?
Each Box of Love is thoughtfully prepared with a mix of fun and useful items, designed to bring joy and practicality to the recipient’s life. From comforting treats to small everyday essentials, these boxes are crafted to make Valentine’s Day extra special.
