This Valentine’s season, GNAT-TV is bringing back Hearts of Our Community, a project that celebrates the people, places, animals, and organizations that shape life across our region.

Last year, the messages shared through Hearts of Our Community became a collective expression of gratitude. Neighbors lifted up neighbors. Students thanked teachers. Families honored caregivers. Viewers celebrated small businesses, volunteers, pets, and the everyday connections that make our towns feel like home.

This year, we’re inviting the community to take part once again.

Hearts of Our Community recognizes the individuals and organizations who show up and make a difference in ways both big and small. Participants can submit a short video message to the email below. GNAT-TV may also help with recording for those who would like assistance.

Throughout February, these valentines will be shared on GNAT-TV and online, creating a living archive of appreciation, connection, and community pride.

Contact ari@gnat-tv.org to participate!

The deadline for submissions is Friday, February 13th.
