Easter Basket Drive
Each year it is our goal to serve over 2,100 abused and neglected children by providing them with the joy of having a special Easter Basket made just for them.
The Community Partners of Dallas Easter Basket Drive serves children from birth to 18 years old.
You can help in several ways:
- Making and donating Easter Baskets
- Donating items to go in the baskets
- Making a monetary donation to Community Partners of Dallas designated for Easter Baskets
- Volunteer
If you would like to make Easter Baskets to donate, here is a recipe and some ideas. All baskets should be age and gender appropriate. The drop-off deadline for donations is Friday, March 20th at our facility (7950 Elmbrook Drive).
A Great Basket Includes:
- One basket or plastic bucket
- Easter grass
- 5 filled plastic eggs
- Wrapped candy
- One age appropriate item
- Small stuffed animal or book
- Baskets should be wrapped in cellophane
Ideas for Age Appropriate Items:
Crayons and coloring book, small cars, arts and crafts kits, side walk chalk, jewelry, gift cards, makeup, purses, manicure sets, jewelry, body sprays, combs & bushes, MP3 Players, watches, jump ropes, bubbles, bottles and blankets, dress up items, small games or flash cards, decks of cards, CD of popular music, sports balls, etc.
This is a great project for kids of all ages to participate in—get a group of friends, co-workers, church members or even scouts together to make baskets as a fun and meaningful way to help others. Your support is greatly appreciated!
