  SPLURGE HOLDS ANNUAL EASTER BASKET DRIVE FOR CHILDREN IN NEED 

By The Food Bank • 15 Mar, 2024

A local Easter tradition continues for the 17th consecutive year as SPLURGE partners with Kids In Crisis and The Food Bank of Lower Fairfield County to collect filled Easter baskets for children in need. Located at 39 Lewis Street, SPLURGE provides a convenient downtown location for members of the community to donate filled Easter baskets now through Wednesday, March 27th. Two other Greenwich businesses have joined SPLURGE in this mission and baskets may also be delivered to Freccia Brothers at 246 West Putnam Avenue and the Law Office of Gill Ingraham at 115 Mason Street.

SPLURGE owner Sonia Sotire Malloy (pictured above)  shared, “I’m excited to announce our 17th annual Easter basket collection for two amazing local organizations, Kids In Crisis and The Food Bank of Lower Fairfield County. With the help of our friends Guinevere Freccia, Gill Ingraham and Diane Warzoha, last year we were able to deliver nearly 400 Easter baskets to local kids in need and since 2008, we have collected and delivered almost 2,400 Easter baskets. We are so appreciative of our generous customers, the Girl Scouts, and several local church groups who have made this program a huge success. Our 2024 goal is to collect 400 filled Easter baskets and bring smiles to many children on Easter morning.”

Shari Shapiro, Executive Director of Kids In Crisis, says, "Kids In Crisis is so appreciative of everything that Sonia and her customers do for the children in our community. The children are blessed to receive generous Easter baskets made for them with kindness, love, and care. Thank you, SPLURGE team!"

Kate Lombardo, Executive Director of The Food Bank of Lower Fairfield County added, "Thank you to Sonia, her team at SPLURGE, and the wonderful members of our community for pulling together to collect and donate Easter baskets for the children in need in our area. Receiving a basket on Easter morning will give children hope and joy when everything around them seems hopeless. This memory will resonate with them for the rest of their lives."

Cellophane wrapped Easter baskets can be filled with items for children ages 2 to 17 and can include toys, journals, games, personal care items, gift cards, packaged healthy snacks and traditional Easter candy. Please contact Sonia Sotire Malloy at sonia@splurgegifts.com if your school or organization is interested in contributing to the SPLURGE Easter Basket Drive.
