Happy Spring!

Written by: Kate Snyder, Executive Assistant

In honor of this (somewhat chilly) first day of Spring, several of our supporting congregations put together some very cute Spring Baskets for our Food Pantry clients.

The baskets came in two varieties. One genre was bright plastic buckets (like you would put crayons in) with cheerful flowers painted on the outside. Inside was a fun collection of jelly beans and chocolates, as well as handmade cards and tissue-paper flowers and bunnies. These had been elegantly wrapped in colored cellophane and tied off with yellow ribbons. Very pretty!

The other group were more traditional wicker baskets with shockingly-colored plastic grass. Their contents included crayons, colored pencils, coloring books, little toys and games, and some miscellaneous chocolates.

The baskets will be distributed to Food Pantry clients (primarily those with children, but we don’t discriminate!) this afternoon.

Happy Spring!
