Help Some 'Bunny' This Easter

Fri, 17 Feb 2012 07:00:00 EST

Project G.R.A.C.E. celebrates spring by distributing Easter baskets to many families and local group homes and agencies. Project G.R.A.C.E. gives Easter dinner baskets and children's Easter baskets to Scarborough families who are experiencing financial difficulty.

We are looking for lots of handy helpers to volunteer, to donate Easter dinner baskets, children's Easter baskets and to help organize and assemble baskets. We will be collecting individually wrapped Easter candy and/or snacks along with everyday needs like socks and lip balm.

If you would like to help, please download and fill out an Easter Volunteer Application and return it by March 8th.

Another way to help would be to participate in our Easter basket assembly line on Tuesday, April 3rd, at 6:00pm. Join the "Bunny Brigade" at St. Max's Church on Black Point Road. We will go into full scale spring fever mode and assemble hundreds of small baskets which will be delivered to many local agencies, nursing homes and shelters. School-age students and adults are welcome. Itâs a very rewarding evening!
