Love Notes: Spread Love Throughout Downtown Portland

Inspired by Portland, Maine’s beloved “Valentine’s Bandit,” Love Notes is a heartfelt tradition that spreads love and kindness throughout downtown every February. Join us in showing appreciation to your favorite downtown businesses, organizations, and workers by sending a personalized Love Note!

Program Details:

Love Notes kicks off each February, inviting community members to write a love letter, poem, or create a drawing for their favorite downtown shop, employee, or organization. It’s a simple yet meaningful gesture to brighten someone’s day.

How to Participate:

• Get a Love Note: Email info@portlanddowntown.org to arrange a pickup at the Portland Downtown office (22 Free Street, Suite 201). Closer to February, we will announce additional pickup locations and times.
• Send Your Love: We’ll take care of postage and mailing to ensure your heartfelt message reaches its recipient before the end of the month.

Join the Tradition:

Celebrate Valentine’s Day with Love Notes and continue Portland’s tradition of spreading love throughout our vibrant city. Your participation makes a difference in fostering a connected and caring community.
