Easter... Giving Back to the Community

This Easter was the first Easter I actually did something productive! I usually do community service once a month and really something big in December and for Back to School but this year, we (My Sorors and I) decided to do something special for some less fortunate kids...

Although Easter is not about the Easter Bunny, we decided to do an Easter Egg Hunt for the Orlando Rescue Mission, a transitional shelter that helps about 250 families a year! We donated stockings filled w/ toys for Christmas and again thought, wow, the kids would have a great time! So to also pass the message of Christ's resurrection, we got plastic eggs filled w/ religious toys and stationary (necklaces w/ crosses, stickers that had religious sayings and other stuff) and of course, candy filled eggs! We had over 450 eggs!!! We also had the kids decorate their Easter bags and make Easter cards for their parents, it was a great time!

Here are some pics...
