ENGLEWOOD — Latanya & The Youth of Englewood are seeking donations this week for Easter baskets.

The Easter Basket Giveaway is Saturday at Ogden Park, 6500 S. Racine Ave., from 2-5 p.m. Attendees will be able to learn more about the nonprofit over refreshments. Latanya Johnson, an Englewood resident, formed the nonprofit in 2014 because she wanted to give the children a safe place. They complete community service projects together.

Johnson said that for Easter, her children are collecting Easter basket materials such as the basket itself, toys, candy or the colorful plastic that covers the baskets. People can also donate the entire Easter basket.

They can coordinate a drop-off time with her by sending an email to johnson_marie19@yahoo.com or calling 312-983-2855.
