Imagine for a moment what it was like to discover your Easter basket as a child or hunt for brightly colored eggs…
Every child deserves moments of joy, celebration and childhood traditions. The Easter & Spring Basket Drive helps children experiencing abuse or neglect enjoy the simple, happy moments of the season with baskets filled with treats, toys and comfort items.
Help bring that joy to children this Easter.
