Easter is still a few days away, but one event this weekend helped to make the coming holiday a little bit better for those in need.
A local woman hosted a large event one of the first where large numbers of people have been allowed to gather since the lifting of COVID restrictions for locals to take Easter baskets to be later donated to families around the city who are most in need.
