Kettering College faculty and students, Kettering Health Network employees, Kettering Adventist Church, and other community volunteers put together more than 300 Easter baskets for underserved members of the community.
The Easter basket project began many years ago with a few chaplains and nurses who saw a way to brighten the lives of the children hospitalized at the Kettering Behavioral Medicine facility. One of those nurses also taught Kettering College nursing students. When the students learned about this, they saw it as a worthy service project which they embraced and expanded to include several battered women’s shelters. Now the Easter Baskets filled with toys, hygiene items, and other treats were distributed to several agencies in the area including:
KBMC
St Vincent’s
Erma’s Place
YWCA Battered Women’s Shelter
Artemis House
House of Bread
Daybreak Shelter
