CARING FOR AMERICA
January 21, 2021
JOIN THE EGGCELLENT BASKET BRIGADE
“Hop on board” with Village Republican Women as we create Eggcellent Easter Baskets in continued support of West Houston Assistance Ministries (WHAM).
This year VRW is demonstrating our compassionate and caring philosophy as Republican Women by supporting WHAM’s goal of providing Easter Baskets for needy children in our West Houston community. Help us meet our goal of 100 baskets by March 10.
You can help by committing to provide one or more filled, a cellophane-wrapped basket by March 10, by bringing items from the list below to our January and February meetings, or by donating funds using the special envelopes at the meetings. Baskets are for children ages 2-12 and should be valued at $25+.
WHAM CEO, Mark Brown, told us at our December gathering that 22% of the West Houston area they serve suffer from food insecurity. Help us make this Easter a little brighter for children from such families.
This project responds to the National Federation of Republican Women’s challenge for clubs to be directly involved in making people’s lives better and in assisting local programs that share that mission through a Caring for America project. Let’s make it an Eggstravaganza and have some fun!
For more information contact: Caring for America Chair, Mary Grace Landrum, [email protected] or 713-302-4311.
