Easter “Baskets of Love” Collection

By Melissa
Thursday, February 18th, 2016

It’s time for the annual Easter “Baskets of Love” collection! Since Waukee Area Christian Services (WACS) started the program eight years ago, 947 baskets have been given to children through the food pantry. What makes these baskets unique is that that each child will receive not just the traditional Easter goodies, but they also receive essentials – new socks and underwear.

Please help us continue to share the love with children in need by donating an item or two to help fill our baskets. Items needed include: new socks and underwear (all sizes, toddler to teen, girls and boys), healthy Easter treats, and small toys (bubbles, sidewalk chalk, cards, coloring books, jump ropes, etc.). Note: the baskets have been provided.

Monetary donations can be made on-line here.

Donations can be dropped off at the Waukee Family YMCA, the WACS Food Pantry, or any one of our partner churches which can be found here.

Donations needed by March 16.

Easter Baskets of Love – THANK YOU

This year was another successful year at Waukee Area Christian Services 8th annual Easter Baskets of Love drive! Because of your help we were able to bless 143 children. I have always said it’s not about the baskets or what we give and to how many; rather it’s how we can show God’s love in a small way.

The generous support of the families we serve and the care for people in the community is evident through efforts like these baskets. We could not have been so successful without everyone’s kindness.

Thank you again to all who participated including our partner churches, Waukee Family YMCA, and the many volunteers who helped sort, assemble and distribute!

Smiles ~ Melissa Stimple, Director
