Easter Baskets for Department of Children and Families in Norwalk (DCF)
Friday, March 31 2023
The DCF social workers take Easter Baskets to the children of families in crisis. Many of these families are low income and may not be able to provide a basket for their children.
Drop off will be in the PARISH OFFICES March 30 & 31
You may claim as much parish service time that it takes you to shop for and assemble the basket. Please wrap it in cellophane, tie it with a festive ribbon and put a tag on it with the child's name!
Basket Components could include ... feel free to add things that will appeal to the teens!
THE SOCIAL WORKERS HAVE ASKED THAT A TOOTHBRUSH, TOOTHPASTE AND A PAIR OF SOCKS BE INCLUDED IN EACH BASKET!
