My Story
Happy Easter at the Stephen's Center
On Good Friday, April 22nd, several members of NARBW's Omaha chapter met at the Stephen's Center. They colored Easter Eggs with the few kids that were there and assembled dozens of Easter baskets for the children and twenty baskets for the women living there. Every child's basket had a stuffed animal, a toy, a bottle of bubble blowing juice, a book and of course, plastic Easter eggs filled with candy. The ladies baskets had makeup, makeup bags, hair & grooming essentials, combs, brushes, lotion, shampoo, etc.
It was delightful to fill the baskets and to see the reactions of the staff and the residents to the wonderful baskets. The leftover items were donated to fill their shelves for the ladies and the reward closet for the children.
To top it off the Omaha chapter presented the Stephens Center with a check for $525 to continue their work.
Thank you to Colleen Brabec, Cynthia Chandler, Carol Franco, Andrea Gansen, Mary Ann Leaton, Mary Lovette, Jay Nelsen, Winnie Sage, Amy Schapp, Sally Sofio and the others who donated items for the baskets.
