Women’s Club Donates Easter Baskets To Dottie’s House

BRICK – On Easter Sunday, the 31 children currently residing at Dottie’s House in Brick received Easter baskets donated by the members of the Women’s Club of Brick Township.

Purchasing items for Easter baskets and donating them to the children residing there has been a tradition for the Women’s Club of Brick for over twenty years. The members carefully shop for clothing, toys, games, books and candy (of course!) to fill the baskets.

Every year, they coordinate with the staff at Dottie’s House to learn the ages, gender, and sizes of the children so that they can make each Easter basket special for the special recipients. This year, the ages ranged from infants through age 16. Some of the older children also received gift cards to area businesses where they like to socialize with their peers.

For more information about the Women’s Club of Brick go to womensclubofbrick.org or email womensclubofbrick@gmail.com.
