The “Easter Bonnets and Baskets” celebration for Morgan Hill and Gilroy clients will be held Saturday, April 5, in the SVdP Thrift Store at 7680 Monterey Road, Gilroy.
On the day of the event, volunteers contribute refreshments and help clients select free, new clothing for their families. Other volunteers lead game and craft activities with the children, including face-painting, basket-making, and egg decorating. St. Vincent de Paul needs about 100 volunteers to help.
The Society welcomes all volunteers and/or in-kind donations of new clothing, new shoes, new socks and undergarments, baskets, candies or dental hygiene items. Cash donations are also welcome, as are pre-paid telephone calling cards.
