In celebration of Easter, Mayor Armstead, the Mayor’s Youth Commission, and the Linden Department of Parks and Recreation hosted an Easter Goody Bag Grab & Go on March 30th and March 31st. Previously, they’ve hosted Easter Egg Hunts for the youth; however, due to COVID-19, the event could not be held.
Wanting to spread cheer and not leave the children at bay, they improvised and hosted the Goody Bag Grab & Go. There were three eggs in the goody bags that had raffle tickets in them.
Our three lucky raffle winners were Tyler Caldwell, Coraliy Betances, and Eva Ribeiro. They each won $25 Visa gift cards donated by Phillips 66.
Congratulations to our winners!
