CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - One local organization is spreading the love this Valentineâs Day by sending over 5,000 homemade cards to local nursing homes.
âLove in Actionâ, founded by Tawanda Robbins, has collected thousands of V-Day cards from families, businesses, daycares and more in hopes of brightening the day of a population who -in many ways- is set apart due to the covid-19 pandemic.
