Families First Learning Lab is partnering with the Roots Program and the Missoula Food Bank to spread love this Valentine's Day.

The Learning Lab is holding its Art With Purpose classes and encouraging people to write Valentine's messages that will go into delivery bags at the food bank and be handed out to homebound seniors.

"This is just one of the programs that we do that have Art With Purpose. So we do things like make toys for shelter animals and do it in conjunction with the Western Montana Humane Society. Or we have activity kits that go out to kids all through Missoula over spring break and Christmas break so they can continue doing educational things, but this is definitely one of my very favorite things that we get to do," said Katie Little, child enrichment director.

On Tuesday and Wednesday, FFLL will have all of the Valentines on display in the second floor classroom before they're packed up and shipped out.
