This past Saturday, and as part of our Faith Formation program, about 20 elementary families (29 adults and 36 kids) gathered to create gift baskets for Basket of Hope. Basket of Hope is an organization giving hope to newly diagnosed children and their families affected by cancer and other serious illnesses. The gift baskets are given to the children and contain age appropriate toys, games, crafts, movies, music, gift certificates and much more. Under the direction of Basket of Hope, co-leaders Joanna Mertz, Tiffany Neill and Deanna Gervasio, our families created approximately 75 gift baskets for children, as well as about 30 “Hope Totes” for parents. The baskets will be given to children at Goryeb Children’s Hospital at Morristown Memorial Hospital, Children’s Specialized Hospital in New Brunswick, and a few other hospitals. Our Faith Formation families enjoyed working together to brighten the lives of the children (and parents) affected by these serious illness.
