Easter Bunny Helpers for the Salvation Army

Easter Bunny Helpers for the Salvation Army

Overview:

Please hop on over to be an "Easter Bunny helper" and make baskets for families visiting the Waukesha Salvation Army! The Salvation Army provides a number of services to the local community including emergency housing, serving meals three nights a week, and running a food pantry. At this project we will be preparing Easter baskets with various treats and surprises which will then be handed out to families visiting the food pantry during the week leading up to Easter. This will be a fun way to spread some extra joy to families utilizing that service.

What to expect:

Upon arrival, families will sort all basket supplies they bring, along with any additional donations we've received ahead of time. We will have a simple Easter bunny craft station for kids to make cards to include in the baskets while we wait for everyone to arrive. We’ll do a quick intro to meet other SBK families, explain the project, and then we’ll get to work assembling the baskets!

Capacity & Age Recommendations:

All ages are welcome at this project. We have the ability to make this project as large as we want so we anticipate having space for 20 families -- members and  guests who want to try out a project are welcome!   

What to bring:

In order to make this project a success, we are asking all families who register to commit to bringing items to pack, no matter how big or small. Bringing supplies to donate helps kids personally connect to the project, knowing the item(s) they brought are helping other families. A great way to include kids is by asking what types of surprises they’ve been excited to receive in an Easter basket or treat bag. NOTE:  If you would like to participate but are unable to bring items please let us know via email (confidential) and we will buy supplies on your behalf. We just want to make sure we have enough supplies to pack.

Please use this Sign Up Genius link to note what supplies you’ll be bringing in an effort to provide some variety. 

Unable to attend?

If you are unable to attend in person but would still like to contribute some basket packing supplies, we will have a bin drop off location in Pewaukee though 3/31. Please use the Sign Up Genius link above and include “bin drop off” in the notes. The drop off address is noted in the top of the Sign Up Genius. 

Thank you for lending a little hand!
