Pastor Chris Young and members of Impact Church of the Hardin area recently partnered with HOPE Clinic to provide a special Easter celebration and egg hunt for HOPE clients and their children.
“We were so honored to have Impact Church work with us to give these young families some time to fellowship with others, hear about the true meaning of Easter, and have some treats to take home,” explained Natalie Bradley, HOPE Clinic Client Services Coordinator.
Impact Church provided 500 stuffed eggs for the children to hunt, and the Clinic staff worked with the church members to supply snacks and party favors. The Fairdealing-Olive Fire Department loaned a fire truck for the children to enjoy and there was a surprise visit from Mr. and Miss Easter Bunny.
“I think everyone there, workers included, enjoyed the celebration and spending time with our Clinic families,” continued Bradley.
HOPE Clinic is a non-profit pregnancy care center in Benton and Eddyville which provides help and hope to families before, during and after an unplanned pregnancy. All services, including ultrasounds, pregnancy tests, STD testing and parenting classes are free. The center also helps provide necessities for babies up to 24 months of age for mothers involved in the program.
