Easter Bunny Helpers for the Salvation Army
Overview:
Hop on over to be an "Easter Bunny Helper" and make baskets for families visiting the food pantry at the Salvation Army in Waukesha! 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. Join us on Sunday, March 22nd from 1:30 to 2:30 pm to make baskets together!
What to expect:
While we wait for everyone to arrive, we'll have a simple Easter bunny craft station for kids to make cards that will be included in the baskets. Families will also sort all basket supplies they bring, along with any additional donations we've received ahead of time. 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 space for approximately 15 families. Registration will be open to members only for the first week, and we will open registration for guests if there is room one week prior to the project date.
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 the Sign Up Genius link HERE 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 3/21. Please register under the "Drop Off" option. The porch drop off address will be included in the registration confirmation email.
