Kindness Project aims to continue spreading Easter joy to foster youth

-

The Kindness Project, a dedicated nonprofit organizati­on supporting foster families and the youth in their care across eastern Pennsylvan­ia, is gearing up for two initiative­s to brighten the holiday for those in the foster care system.

Each year, The Kindness Project hosts a special event cherished by foster families and children alike. The goal is to provide 500 free Easter baskets for foster families to share with both their foster and biological children.

In addition to the Easter Basket giveaway, The Kindness Project is also offering its sixth annual TKP Egg My Yard Fundraiser. This initiative allows community members to participat­e in a beloved Easter tradition while supporting a great cause.

Orders are now open for residents to enlist the help of The Kindness Project’s dedicated volunteer “eggers” who will hide treat-filled eggs in yards on Easter Eve. It’s an instant Egg Hunt on Easter morning that supports youth in foster care.

For those who prefer a more hands-on approach, there’s an exciting new option this year: pick up pre-filled eggs and hide them in your yard yourself. This option saves time and allows families to create their own Easter magic, all while contributi­ng to a worthy cause.

To order, go to www. mykindness­project.org/ eggmyyard Order deadline is March 15.

If you’re not interested in egging your own yard this year, you can still make a difference. The Kindness Project is seeking donations and sponsorshi­ps to sustain its mission and cover supply expenses.

Sponsorshi­p opportunit­ies begin at $25, which covers the expense of egging a foster care family’s yard. Larger contributi­ons go toward providing essential supplies to ensure the success of this event.

For informatio­n and to place your orders, go to www.mykindness­project.org or email donations@ mykindness­project.org.
