Heart to Heart Easter Event- Volunteers Needed!

Heart to Heart is looking for volunteers to help with an Easter event! This is a great way for your entire family to get involved. Also a great way to talk to your kids about serving children who are currently in foster care.

The need is for volunteers to pick up several bags of eggs from Heart to Heart (located at Frazer United Methodist Church), probably 3-4 deliveries per family, and then go put the eggs out in foster families’ yards (CJ will tell you where to go) so their kids can have an egg hunt!

The pick-up and delivery date will be Saturday, April 3rd, from about 5-8pm. You can pick up and put out your eggs anytime that day.

For more information or to volunteer call CJ Brown: 770-367-7665
