National Shut-in Visitation Day is held on February 11 each year.
National Shut-in Visitation Day shares hope and friendship with the millions of men, women, and children who, due to physical, mental, or emotional reasons, are incapable of leaving their homes and living out their existence cut off from the outside world. These situations leave people feeling alone, isolated, and dispirited.

What about your local nursing home or hospice? So many people end up in such places, alone and far from their families. Try spending the day talking, listening, and engaging people who don’t have the opportunity to leave. Gift them an afternoon of normalcy.
Today is about kindness and caring, helping your fellow man, and giving the most valuable gift you have—your time and yourself.
