Advocates for Children Report
March is our last collection for the year. We are filling plastic Easter Eggs to distribute to our local food banks. When clients come to receive food, they can get a Spring surprise of Easter Eggs. Our goal is to put a smile on the faces of those in need.
Items we are collecting:
- Plastic Easter Eggs.
- Bags of small wrapped Easter candies.
Please bring your contribution to our next meeting.
