Easter Food & Gift Baskets of Hope!
Volunteer, Andrew Flannery - Christmas 2010
Long time volunteer, Andrew Flannery, had approached Founder and Executive Director Emily Douglas and asked if he could take on a project of his own. Excited, Emily said sure and asked Andrew his plans. After much thought and personal reflection, Andrew decided that he wanted to provide Easter dinner and goodies to kids that lived where his family was orginally from, a town outside of Morehead, Kentucky.
Grandma's Gifts had done a similar project in the past, working with churches in Upper Arlington and Dublin, Ohio, but had not had the request for Easter assistance in sometime. So, Andrew got to work reviving the project! He planned the event and travel, asked for donations, and worked with a church to locate families in need.
Columbus volunteers purchased food, bubbles, and Easter baskets. Then Andrew and his family drove to Morehead and delivered the baskets. Andrew said that while physically difficult, he will always remember the great rewards of the project. Below are some pictures of our work.
