Share Easter Joy With the Children of St. Vincent de Paul Place

Share Easter Joy With the Children of St. Vincent de Paul Place

This Easter, let us share the joy of Christ’s resurrection with the children of St. Vincent de Paul Place by helping provide Easter baskets filled with love. Many of the families we serve struggle to afford even basic necessities, and a simple Easter basket can bring a moment of joy and hope to a child in need.

As we celebrate the season of renewal, we invite you to donate filled Easter baskets or small toys, candy, or gift cards to help us create these special gifts. Your generosity will remind these children that they are cherished, not only by their families but by a loving community of faith.

Donations can be dropped off at St. Vincent de Paul Place by April 2nd.

Feel free to email Jill for more info at jcsvdpp@gmail.com.

Thank you for being the hands and heart of Christ this Easter!
