An Easter Egg Hunt with a Purpose — Help Our Kids Hunt for Good!
Instead of hunting for candy on Easter Sunday, our children will be hunting for something even sweeter — your donated goods!
Here’s how it works:
Please purchase the requested items from the list below, bring them to church by April 4th, and place them in the labeled bins near the front door. Before the Easter service, the goods will be hidden throughout the church. On Easter morning, when we go to classes, the children will search for them and then work together to assemble care kits for folks who are unhoused.
This year, we’ll be filling gallon-sized Ziploc bags with practical items that beloved souls who are unhoused might find helpful. After the children put the kits together, congregants will be invited to pick up a few on April 12th to keep in their cars and share with folks they encounter who may need them.
It’s an Easter egg hunt with heart — helping all of us to live our UU Shared Values of Generosity and Love and model those values in real, tangible ways for our youngest congregants.
Please help us make our annual Easter tradition a success this year! If you are financially able, please purchase any of the following items so we can put together care kits of helpful items for those who need them:
- gallon-sized ziplock bags (compostable is an environmentally friendly option)
- bottled waters or coconut waters (environmentally friendly because they are often packaged without plastic)
- granola bars
- travel sized toothpaste and a single packaged toothbrush
- socks
- personal hygiene wipes
- hand warmers
Please drop your donations off just inside the front door by April 4th. Thanks in advance for helping us make this year’s event fun and meaningful for our children. Feel free to email msleslie@fusden.org with any questions.
