The story behind the marriage that built Alleluia Baskets.

  • “No family plans on becoming homeless, especially around the holidays, such as Easter… We thank Karen and everyone who helps make Easter special for our youngest clients.”

  • “With your help, we provided wonderful memories for over 200 children. Our special thanks for providing Easter baskets and making it special for all.”

    Sr. Anne Francioni, RN, MA, Whole Kids Outreach

  • “A teen who received his Easter basket genuinely smiled and was very grateful when he said, ‘Thank you for remembering me.’”

    Social Worker, Troy, MO

  • “This is with many thanks for the Easter baskets for our kiddos! Words cannot express how thankful we are to have received these. The children will enjoy them."
