Easter Basket Drive
Featured

March 17
All Day

Donate an Easter Basket (or two) for local foster youth and aged-out youth using the suggested list of pre-approved items below. We’ll deliver them to two local foster care agency partners with a note from Bayside attached to each basket. Our goal is 100 baskets, half of those are for older teens.

 

Please return completed Easter Baskets to Bayside Adventure’s lobby any Sunday in March. All baskets are due by March 17th.

 

In the Greater Sacramento region, there are about 2,800 children in foster care. While not everyone can be a foster parent, Bayside Adventure Church believes most can help in some way. If you’d like to learn about more opportunities to make a difference for local foster youth, please email Michelle.Kopkash@Baysideonline.com.
