 In a remarkable display of community spirit, The Heart Matters Foster Family Agency, located in Grand Terrace, California, held a heartwarming Easter basket event that brought together friends, family, colleagues, and dedicated local residents. On this special occasion, the spirit of giving and generosity thrived as volunteers came together at 21935 Van Buren St., Suite A-1 to prepare Easter baskets for children in foster care.

 

The event witnessed an enthusiastic turnout, with many community members like councilmen Jeff Allen , stepping forward to lend their support. Among the volunteers were members of the Grand Terrace Lions Club, known for their unwavering dedication to serving the community. Their efforts, along with those of other attendees, reflected a shared commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of children who often face challenges during festive seasons.

 

As volunteers gathered, they filled an array of colorful baskets with treats, toys, and essential items that aim to bring smiles and joy to the children. The Easter basket event was not just about filling baskets; it was about creating lasting memories of hope and love for those who need it most.

 

The collaboration between The Heart Matters Foster Family Agency and the Grand Terrace community exemplifies the power of unity and compassion.
