Filling baskets with love

We finished our 15th year filling, wrapping and providing 40 baskets for children and seniors in our metro area.

Here one of our youngest volunteers assembled every basket (for her community service hours) and stuffed them full of candies, toys and accessories. The first round of deliveries was made to Family Promise on April 11th.

Also on April 11th baskets for seniors were dropped off at MUST Ministries

Our final baskets will be delivered April 19th to SimpleNeedsGa by volunteer Stephanie Gale.

A huge thank you to all of you who helped by purchasing the items we needed to make this a great project.

Especially Patty Sammons, Don Sammons, Lauren Craig, Lauren and Chuck Neal, Nichole Burkhalter, Valerie Sherer, Stephanie Gale, Jennifer Lawrence, Kathy Gale, Erin Martin, Marilyn Dickerson, Eric DeHart, Courtney Young, Stephanie Gale, Patty Voyles and Kathryn Gale and Sammy and P!

Have a Blessed Easter Celebration!!!
