BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — The Buffalo Barkery is organizing a heartwarming event this Valentine's Day.
Cheryl and Maggie Lamparelli are sending cards for the residents of Mary Agnes Manor, an assisted living facility on Porter Avenue in Buffalo.
Community members are invited to their Allentown shop to take photos with their pets, which will be attached to the Valentine's and delivered to seniors who may not have loved ones visiting them on February 14.
"It's all about our community," said Co-owner Cheryl Lamparelli. "We just wanted to be able to bring some joy to those people that may not have anyone else bringing them Valentine's."
Since their initiative began, more than 50 furry friends have participated in making cards at Buffalo Barkery. Community members have until February 13 to participate.
"We just love to give back to our local community," said Maggie Lamparelli.
