Amy’s Attic Self Storage, which operates six facilities in Texas, is inviting community members to stop by the facility and create Valentine’s Day cards for the elderly. Decorating stations were set up on Jan. 19 at Amy’s Attic properties at 930 W. Highway 190 in Copperas Cove and 800 Prospector Trail in Harker Heights. Open until Friday, the stations provide heart-shaped construction paper, markers and crayons, and stickers.

The cards will be delivered to local assisted-living centers and retirement communities by Amy’s Attic staff during Feb. 8 to 10. The operator also invited local residents to drop off homemade Valentines at all of its locations, and enlisted students from local schools to participate.

Amy’s Attic sponsors several community and charitable programs and events each year. Its Amy in Education initiative collects and delivers donations of supplies to local schools. The goal of the program is to have a positive presence in schools through donations, mentorship and teacher appreciation as well as participation in career fairs, according to its website page.

The Harker Heights property also hosted a bi-annual craft festival and fundraiser last year in conjunction with local furniture companies. The events benefited the Boys & Girls Club of Central Texas and Furniture for Families Inc., a nonprofit that provides furniture to those in need. In addition, Amy’s Attic supports the local chapter of the Boy Scouts of America, the Rainbow Room, an emergency-resource center, and Operation Phantom Support, which provides assistance to military families.

Founded in 2004, Amy’s Attic operates facilities in Belton, Copperas Cove, Harker Heights, Killeen and Temple, Texas.
