EasterPAKS
Hey everybody, it’s that time of year again! While we all humbly reflect on the passion and meaning of our faith, it’s a very important time to consider those less fortunate.
This year, why not consider assembling and donating Mission EasterPAKs? We all know kids love an Easter basket! However, families struggling with food insecurity could certainly use some extra help during the holiday.
We’ve come up with a couple of ideas, but feel free to customize your EasterPAK. The PAKs make a great project, can be assembled while practicing social distancing and are very much appreciated! When completed, just label the PAKs and drop them off at (or mail to) our Comprehensive Family Resource Center at:
3194B Bladensburg Rd., NE
Washington, DC 20018
Donations are accepted Monday-Friday,
9:00am-3:30pm, except federal holidays.
