Hi All,
Since we barely had any winter this year, its seems so soon to be Easter! But get ready...the Bunny is just around the corner.
Kids First is stepping into high gear to get Easter baskets and meals to families in need. Calls from moms in our area just asking for food have been more than ever over the past couple of months.
Kids First hopes to have a lovely basket of treats and fun for a number of children as well as provide Easter dinner for families. In typical Kids First fashion we hope to say yes to every family in need but can only make this happen with the help of you.
We shopped around and decided that a really special Easter basket with small toys, candy and the basket would cost $20 a piece. The typical Easter dinner with a ham, potatoes, bread, veggies and dessert would cost $40.
So here's how you can help......make a donation towards a basket or a meal, collect canned food, get together with friends or co-workers and make up some fun baskets.
Let us know how you would like join in. We can always come pick up your food and baskets.
It is only through each of you that Kids First continues to bring a smile to child in need!
On a sad note.....
There was that big friendly smile....always....
Mark Hazzard
It is with very heavy hearts that we share with all of you the sudden passing of a long time friend of Kids First. Mark Hazzard was with us from the beginning when we were Shelter Medical Clinic for the Homeless. He was our charity president for many years. But he was much more than that... he was always there to help. Helping at the Clinic itself, working at all our fundraisers, being our Easter Bunny at egg hunts for needy children. He was even our Santa Claus at our annual Christmas Party for Kids! Mark was a wonderful, happy guy who knew how to make the kids smile by singing all the words to Spongebob or joining in the games. He was also an incredible dad and husband.
Mark Hazzard will be deeply missed by all the people who's lives he touched.
The sun shines a little less bright today.
We'll miss you, friend. xoxo
