For many years, the Rochester Area Jaycees have worked in conjunction with the Older Persons Commission to deliver 30 Easter Baskets, filled with food, candy and useful household items, to homebound seniors who live in the Rochester area.
Annually the Jaycees budget funds that were raised for this community service project. The group works with the OPC to identify the senior citizens who will receive the bags.
Once the Jaycees purchase the materials and assemble the bags, Jaycee members and volunteers deliver the Easter Baskets on the weekend before Easter Sunday.
