Organization in Derby brightens holiday for less fortunate
DERBY - I visited the annual Easter food and gift distribution Tuesday afternoon at St. Vincent De Paul Helping Hands of the Valley thrift shoppe.
As in the past I was amazed at the amount of thought and hard work that goes into the creation of age and gender-appropriate Easter baskets for needy Valley residents. This year 150 families were served.
These photos show just a few of the gaily-wrapped baskets the staff prepared for the nonprofit's clients.
I tip my hat today to director Sandi Bailie, thrift shop manager Cindy Barbian, and all the volunteers who work tirelessly to make the holidays and every day brighter for those in need.
