Windy conditions and snow patches reminiscent of a wintery-spring were no obstacle for the volunteers as they lined the nearby sidewalks, park and basketball area with festive, colorful Easter eggs. Hundreds of eggs filled with candies and toys were hidden among the trees, bushes, fences, benches, basketball hoops and playground equipment. Once the children arrived they enthusiastically rushed all around filling their Easter bags until they were overflowing with goodies.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you to Amani Santos and Tracie Killar from the South End Children\u2019s Caf\u00e9 for welcoming us and giving us the opportunity to spread fun and joy with the wonderful children!<\/p>\n<p>The mission of the South End Children&#8217;s Caf\u00e9 is to impact food security, address food equity and food justice, enhance academic success, and positively influence the physical and mental health of children by offering free healthy meals along with homework help, academic enrichment, mentoring, exercise, and the arts.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit the South End Children\u2019s Caf\u00e9&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/southendchildrenscafe.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_162220\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-162220\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-162220 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_3721-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Students Ryan Connors, Aaron Coom, Layan Radi, Dane Wiedman with Easter eggs\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-162220\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(left to right_ Ryan Connors, Aaron Coom, Layan Radi, Dane Wiedman)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-162221 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_3749-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Students hiding eggs in a tree\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-162222 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_3723-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"easter egg hidden in snow\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-162223 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_3734-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"playground with easter eggs hidden throughout\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-162224 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_20240328_162201984_HDR-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Easter eggs spell out &quot;HVCC Honors College&quot;\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Published:<\/strong>\u00a0Wed, 03 Apr 2024 11:40:13 +0000 by\u00a0l.hassib<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Members of the HVCC Honors College had an egg-cellent experience volunteering at the South End Children&#8217;s Cafe in Albany&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2086,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[161],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21908","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-student-announcement-college-related"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21908","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2086"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21908"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21908\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21908"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21908"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21908"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
