March 2021

Learning Center

The March 24, 2021 Kid Event took place outside of the Learning Center allowing for more active play. The children participated in “egg”citing activities along the bunny trail, supervised by volunteers, including an egg scavenger hunt directed by Kat Tisdale. Parents/Guardians watched from the picnic tables nearby. This provided the opportunity for Sister Susanne to speak to parents/guardians about future events. Everyone enjoyed an ice cream treat outside. Food bags and Easter baskets stuffed with goodies and at-home activities were given to the children as they left this “egg”ceptional event.

Food Pantry
Food distribution continued with 65-80 pre-filled bags given at the door each Tuesday. On March 23, hams were given to 100 households.
