CALL Primrose Needs Your Help

The Easter Bunny will soon be hopping into town, and with his arrival comes a need for volunteers at , a Burlingame-based nonprofit serving North Peninsula residents in need.

CALL Primrose reported on its Facebook page Tuesday that it still needed 75 Easter boxes for its Fill-a-Box, Feed-a-Family spring holiday drive. CALL Primrose runs the program around different holidays, including Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Here’s how it works: Volunteers fill a sturdy box (about the size of a box copy paper comes in) with non-perishable food items and a $20 grocery card clients can use in their holiday meal preparation. They then drop it off at CALL Primrose. Staff then passes along the boxes to low-income families.

To get involved, call (650) 342-2255 or e-mail contact@callprimrose.org. You’ll receive a packing list and instructions. Although the deadline for boxes was originally March 27, CALL Primrose still needs more help. Easter box distribution day is April 3.

CALL Primrose is located at 139 Primrose Road, Burlingame, CA 94010.
