Point Pleasant Police Collecting Valentines For Rehab Center Patients

POINT PLEASANT, NJ — The Point Pleasant Police Department is hosting a Valentine's Day card contest for the borough's children.

But the contest has a bigger goal: To bring joy to people who are living at a local rehabilitation center for Valentine's Day.

"We are looking for children to create original, crafty Valentine’s Day cards for the residents of Crest Point Rehabilitation and Health Care Center," the police department's post says. Crest Point Care Center provides care for patients with the aim of helping them return to their homes. The card collection is an annual effort by the police department for Crest Point.

Several cards will be chosen as prize winners. Once the winners are chosen, the cards will be hand-delivered to the Crest Point Rehabilitation and Health Care Center, police said.

Submissions must be dropped in the Valentine’s Day Box in the lobby of police headquarters, 2233 Bridge Ave. by Feb. 13.

Please include your child’s contact information attached to the card.

"We look forward to seeing everyone’s submissions!" police said.
