Easter Baskets

My dad doesn't toot his own horn much, but he quietly does a lot of great things for other people. One of those things is the Easter basket drive that he started at our church. Dad drives all over the place, buying every laundry basket he can find. Members who want to participate choose a basket, fill it with household staples, grocery store gift cards, and a few Easter treats, and return it to church. Dad then collects the baskets, generously and heavily laden, and delivers them to a local school, where they're distributed to needy families who might not be able to afford to put food on their tables, let alone fill Easter baskets for their kids.


Of course, certain granddaughters would like to create a little more work for their Grandpa.
