For over a decade, the folks over at Faith@Work have hosted an Easter Egg collection to gather eggs to be distributed to local families in need, shelters, and group homes. This year, they are asking for 8000 stuffed plastic eggs (that translates to roughly 667 dozen eggs).
Over the past several years, the residents of Mary's Mantle have helped to stuff a few dozen eggs supplied by our generous donors. This year, we are inviting our volunteers to come to Mary's Mantle with eggs, candy, and prayers in hand and help our residents put together a few dozen eggs for this collection. Other fun stuffing ideas include coins, candy, tattoos, small toys, Chuckie Cheese tokens or stickers. There does not need to be much in each egg, the kids will be getting dozens of them. Remember to pack each egg with a prayer for the child that will be opening it up!
If you or your family would be interested in coming to assemble Easter Eggs with our residents, please let us know as soon as possible so we can get you on our activity calendar! Faith@Work would like the eggs returned to the store by Friday, March 27.
As always, thanks in advance for your generosity!
Blessings to you this Lent and always,
Rakhi
