Calling all Easter bunnies! You are urgently needed in Long Beach today.
It’s the second day of Operation Easter Basket. And as you may have heard in our earlier interview, community activist Justin Rudd is hoping to have 1,700 donated Easter baskets by 4 p.m. If he and his nonprofit Community Action Team wind up with 1,800 or more, they certainly won’t be unhoppy.
And neither will their recipients. Operation Easter Basket provides baskets with small toys, personal-hygiene items, school supplies and (of course!) Easter candy to low-income youth, ages birth to 16 years. Organizations including the Boys’ and Girls’ Club and Long Beach Rescue Mission will be their recipients.
Could you drop by the Bay Shore Church in Belmont Shore, between 9:00 am and 4:00 pm today, and either help assemble baskets or donate some of the supplies they need?
Have fun–and a very Happy Easter!
Operation Easter Basket continues today, Friday, April 18th, from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm at Bay Shore Church, 5100 East The Toledo, in Belmont Shore. You’re invited to come by and drop off completed baskets, supplies (they really need empty baskets, kids’ toothbrushes and toothpaste, and Easter candy), or volunteer to help.
