Child Health Investment Partnership of the Roanoke Valley (CHIP) put on an Easter drive-thru event.
Cars lined up to get an Easter meal and baskets for the children.
Several community partners worked to make this happen for local low-income families.
Organizers say they love making a difference in the community.
“It’s a luxury if you will. you know most people wouldn’t think that about an Easter basket but it is for our families. And so they are so grateful for the support,” said Autumn Laverind, director of development and strategic communication with CHIP.
