A few more items are needed to create Easter baskets for children at the North Texas State Hospital.
Jessica Cartwright, executive director of the Wichita Falls branch of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, said each year they collect donations from the public to help these kids have a fun holiday.
She said they need enough items to fill 25 baskets and donations must be turned in by Wednesday, March 28.
Items NAMI needs include:
- Candy eggs (not plastic)
- Seasonal (Easter bunnies, chicks, etc.) stuffed animals
- Peeps
- Sugar-free chocolate and candies
- Coloring books
- Fabric Easter baskets (not plastic)
