Program – Easter Basket Drive

Each Spring, Friendly Center offers the chance to make Easter a little brighter for children in the community through an Easter Basket distribution event. The goal is to collect 1,000 baskets from generous donors on the designated collection day. To ensure each child receives Easter Basket items similar in quality, donors are encouraged to include the following in each basket: one personal hygiene product (toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, or body wash), a chocolate bunny, other Easter candy, and a small gift or book! Of course, other fun items are welcome as well. These baskets go a long way in making children in need across Orange County feel that their community cares.
