Easter Egg Hunt Easter comes early this year:
By Cindy Barry (Cindy Barry works with homeless kids going to Round Rock High School) All, this is the first year I did not have to pick who was going to be left out because I did not have the resources to cover their needs - thanks to Fern Bluff Elementary, Stone Canyon and Fern Bluff Home Owners. Thanks to your generous donations this year, I was able to cover 136 students and their families this holiday season with holiday meals (114 from donations from Fern Bluff). The meals included a frozen turkey, a gallon of milk, a loaf of bread, a frozen pie, a box of stuffing, 2 cans of vegetables, 1 can of gravy, 1 alum. pan, pre-made mashed potatoes. Here is the break-down: • 53 meals purchased with HEB cards • 31 meals purchased with Wal-mart cards • 22 meals purchased with Target cards • 7 meals purchased with cash • 1 meal purchased with a Visa gift card 4 packages of men’s underwear purchased with TJ Maxx gift card. (These were split between 3 teenage boys living at the Texas Baptist Home who go to Round Rock High School). They are living there temporarily until we can find a more permanent place. Once they turn 18, they have to leave, which will be soon, before the school year is up. Copyright © 2013 Peel, Inc.
