Lisa Woo is leading a community effort to collect Easter baskets for children in need in Colwood, British Columbia. The initiative aims to bring holiday joy to local families who might otherwise go without gifts this year.
The project is being organized through the Colwood Community Association Facebook group. Volunteers are currently being sought to help assemble and distribute the baskets before the Easter holiday in April 2026.
Residents looking to get involved with community projects can also contact the volunteer coordinator for the City of Colwood. The municipal government works with several local groups to support youth, including the Pacific Centre Family Services Association and the Sooke Family Resource Society.
These types of grassroots efforts are part of a wider network of support in the region, which includes the Children’s Health Foundation of Vancouver Island. The community also typically celebrates the season with family events like egg hunts at Meadow Park in the Royal Bay neighbourhood.
