Many of the families that we serve do not have enough resources to celebrate Easter. Some are in transition and others are on the edge of homeless or instability. We want to wrap as many services around every family that is at risk to prevent families from decending into chaos or instability.
At last year’s Easter Egg Hunt and Resource Fair we served 390 children from 229 families, and we hope to serve 500 this year. Crucial community resources will be present such as the Ronald Mcdonald Care mobile which provides dental checkups. Dr’s Kopolow and Girisgen will do vision testing, HELP of Southern Nevada will provide many resources, Arics Mobile Library will provide educational resources, the Las Vegas Metro Police will be there. There will be Easter baskets, an egg hunt, face painting, food, music, door prizes and golden eggs, free resources, fun activities for the kids and more!
