It's time for Easter Basket Brigade!

Community Unity churches are collecting donations that will be distributed to approximately 225 families in Halton Hills on Saturday, April 5th (to volunteer for packing and delivering, see the April 5th calendar entry). 

Each recipient family is given a bag of fresh food (usually a ham and assorted fruits and veggies) and one Easter greeting card that contains 2 - $50 gift cards. This means the need is for the dozen or so churches that support Community Unity to collect 450-$50 gift cards!

GCF's goal is to contribute 46 - $50 gift cards - added to 23 signed Easter greeting cards.

Ways you can contribute: 

- purchase a $50 grocery gift card and put it in our offering box in the sanctuary (each card must be $50 value, and preferably from stores that do not sell alcohol) 

- purchase Easter greeting cards (one or a whole box...again the goal is about two dozen total), write messages of encouragement in them, and give them to Monica

- make a donation to the Love fund, and we will use whatever has been donated to "Love" from March 1 until March 23rd to purchase more $50 gift cards

Note: it's not that easy to walk into a store and buy 50 gift cards at once...if you intend to give $50 or $100 or more, please consider donating gift cards rather than donating to Love. Or donate sooner in March so we can spread out our purchases! Thank you.
