There will be several hands on activities such as a petting zoo, as well as touch a truck, a program that allows children to touch, climb, and explore trucks and heavy machinery. Also, the Easter Bunny will be on site for a visit! We are asking for all participants to bring at least one can good to be donated to The Oxford-Lafayette Pantry. The can goods that are desired by The Pantry are canned vegetables, canned fruits and canned meats.

      Volunteers are needed to pack bags of food each Tuesday at 9 a.m. that can be easily opened by school-aged children (in the Lafayette Oxford community) for weekends and holiday weeks. Lovepacks works through school counselors to identify children in need. The organization operates through donations and food drives through the community.

      Each Lovepack contains easy to open, single-serve food such as: cereal, meat/pasta, soup, veggies, fruit, dessert, crackers, juice, shelf-stable milk. The school administrators and counselors discreetly slip the Lovepacks into the children’s backpack on Friday before they leave school.
