Operation Easter Bunny

The Maria Kaupas Center is doing a service learning project in April as part of the Global Youth Service Day. We will need to do lots of shopping and fundraising to make our “Operation Easter Bunny” a successful project. 


What is “Operation Easter Bunny”, you ask? Our MKC teens, along with any other participants that would like to sign up, will be filling decorative Easter cups with candy and treats for the residential youth at Mercy Home. Our goal is to have 200 cups done on April 12th-- and 500 cups done, all together.

We are writing to ask, if you are able—could you please save any coupons, circulars, mailers, penny savers, etc… that you aren't going to use and give them to the MKC? We are hoping to use our couponing knowledge and talents to help make a huge impact with a small budget.

Additionally, if you have any children's Easter goods that you are looking to get rid of, please let us know! We are looking for donations of: 

Easter grass (to fill the cups)
Easter candy- jelly beans, chocolate, etc...
Small toys

So, anything you can spare would make a huge difference. We are especially interested in manufacturer’s coupons, if you are able to give them up. No need to organize—we can do all that! 

If your friends and neighbors would be willing to donate as well, it would be immensely helpful; and we would appreciate it a great deal. In many cases, we are able to pick up coupons and donations, as well (as delivery may be difficult).

Any help you can offer will make a huge difference!

If you are interested in donating coupons, Easter goods, or monetary supports- please contact us at Maria Kaupas Center:

If you prefer to mail coupons, donations, or monetary support please send to (and make checks payable to):

*for checks, please send documentation that denotes what we can use the funds for- for instance a note that reads: FOR USE TO OBTAIN SUPPLIES FOR 'OPERATION EASTER BUNNY', etc...

All the good we do is made possible by our generous donors. We are so grateful to have so much support from such wonderful people. Thank you for helping make our mission possible.
