Easter Bunny Visits and Egg Hiding to benefit the food bank
Hello! It's Isaac Bernstein, an USCHS senior, here. I wanted to let you know about my annual Plates for Pitt Organization Easter Services. To date, I’ve been able to donate over 186,000 meals ($42,000) with your help. Let’s make my 5th year of Easter services a great one!
I offer two services for Easter: Bunny Visits and Egg Hiding.
Easter Egg-Hiding Form –

The Easter egg hiding will take place in your yard on either Saturday evening or very early Sunday morning by me or a designated volunteer. The eggs will be filled with nut-free candy.
Easter bunny visits are also offered. I will come to your house dressed as the Easter bunny, spend time with your family, and bring a personalized letter for a keepsake. I have done over 550 of these visits, and each is a true joy. You are welcome to take as many photos of your children with the Easter Bunny as you would like during this time!
Please make sure you look at the dates allocated for your township regarding in-person Bunny visits. If the date does not line up, it will be canceled. Please reach out with any questions.All events can be booked and paid for through my website. As always, all donations will go directly to the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank.
With any questions, please reach out to info@platesforpitt.org or text me at 412.337.7649. Thank you all so much!
All the best,

Pennsylvania's Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP)
CHIP is short for the Children's Health Insurance Program - Pennsylvania's program to provide health insurance to uninsured children and teens who are not eligible for or enrolled in Medical Assistance. Nine out of 10 CHIP parents report satisfaction with their child’s health plan, and 96% received an appointment for check-ups and vaccinations as soon as they wanted.
There are a lot of reasons kids might not have health insurance - maybe their parents lost a job, don't have health insurance at work or maybe it just costs too much. Whatever the reason, CHIP may be able to help. All families need to do is apply today.
