The children that come to the Samaritan
Center get so excited about Easter. They think the Easter bunny is
bringing them a basket too just like their friends. However this is
something that their parents must forgo due to lack of money. It’s hard
for our families to cover their essential needs and often can’t even meet
those obligations – that’s why they come to us for food, clothing, etc.
We also try to remember these little things that help their children feel
like they too are deserving of the Easter bunny’s treats.
