Saturday’s Easter egg hunt features food drive

Participants in the annual Easter Egg Hunt at Burlington High School March 31 will not only have a chance to find sweet prizes inside brightly colored eggs, but their families will also have an opportunity to contribute to a local food pantry.

The fifth annual egg hunt, organized and hosted by the BHS Driven student leadership club, will be held on the school tennis courts from 10 to 11:30 a.m.

With more than 10,000 eggs, several activities – including face painting and coloring book activities – a visit from the Easter bunny and separate egg hunts for four different age groups, there will be fun offered for children ages 0-11.

Organizers are encouraging participants and their families to bring donations of non-perishable food items for Love Inc., an independent social service agency that operates of food pantry for low-income local residents.
