This Spring, your Club can be a “Caring Bunny” to kids in shelters or foster care, or seniors in nursing homes or hospice with a Kids Care Clubs Caring Bunny Basket. In addition to filling the basket with Easter candy, you fill the basket with items the kids or seniors need.
You can order coupons for Quaker product to be used in your basket at http://www.kidscare.org/requestcoupons.

Steps Involved:
1. Decide who will be the recipients of your Caring Bunny Baskets.
2. Decide how you will collect the necessary items to make the baskets. Will families of your Club members or sponsoring organization donate the items or will you fundraise to purchase the items?
3. Contact a shelter, local social services, or department of children and families, nursing home, visiting nurse service (they visit seniors at home and in hospice care) or assisted living. Tell them you would like to bring Caring Bunny Baskets. Ask if there are any restrictions to the candy such as no nuts. Ask if you can visit with the recipients when you deliver the baskets.
4. To enclose Easter coloring pages in the baskets print out pages from sites such as Easter Bunny Coloring Pages - http://www.coloring.ws/easter2.htm or http://sunniebunniezz.com/holiday/easterpages.htm.
5. Make a special Caring Bunny Card. You could use a template from one of the coloring page websites to make the card in the shape of a bunny.
6. Fill the baskets and deliver to your recipients.
