Dear Friend: Connecting the generations through letters in Willmar and surrounding communities
Seniors from the Willmar Community Center and area nursing and assisted living homes have been writing letters to students of all ages and young adults through a pen pal program started earlier this year. The letters have been a way to connect people during the continuing isolation of the pandemic. Nearly 200 people are participating in the program, more than the organizers ever dreamed. 6:35 am, Mar. 17, 2021 ×
