During this Lenten season we are inviting everyone to participate in Easter for All (formerly Angel Gifts)! This event is a service opportunity where small gift items are collected, assembled into baskets, and distributed to families and individuals in need. Our community partners; CES, VEAP, Love INC, and Pastor Scott’s Ministry, identify families who will benefit from donations. Each family receives a basket and groceries to make a healthy family meal for Easter.
Donate
Wednesday, March 5 through Sunday, April 6
Monetary Donations: Help Mount Olivet offset the cost of groceries for the families receiving Easter baskets. By donating $100 you can cover the grocery costs for one family of four. Donations can be dropped off or mailed to church labeled “Easter for All” or online here.
Basket Items: All items need to be small enough to fit into a standard Easter basket – preferred items are:
- individually wrapped candies
- bubbles
- card games
- lip balm
