Easter is meant to be a joyous time of year, but for children in our community experiencing physical, emotional or financial hardships, the upcoming Easter holiday will be just another day. You can help change that! I talked with Tanya Pilat, who is apart of a team at Discovery Toys, who are gathering charitable donations to put together Easter gift baskets/Spring fun baskets for children and families who seek assistance from Women’s shelters in Manitoba, as well as those children staying at Ronald McDonald House Manitoba, and Dignity House Inc.
Each child will receive a high quality, fun-filled basket which will include a Discovery Toy game and/or toy, book, toiletry products, and some Easter candy and other treats. So far they are looking to make 250 (final numbers to be determined) baskets this year for children ages 1 to 16 years. Baskets can be sponsored for $30 each. They are also accept donations of toiletries, treats or just ask Tanya how you can contribute! Trying to get the donations collected by April 5, 2023. E-transfers accepted at tanyapilat@yahoo.com (please add “Easter Basket” in the note area). For other donations or
methods of payment, please contact Tanya directly at 204-453-6984.
