Access Homecare and Hospice had the
privilege of working with The Cache County Family to Family Network (CCFF) on
their 3rd annual Adaptive Easter Egg Hunt.
Thanks to the Whittier Center, the hunt took place on their wonderful
play set and adjacent grounds. Access
Homecare and Hospice, Smith’s and the local scouts played a role in donations
and volunteers. Lora Meerdo is the
director of the local chapter and put the Easter Egg Hunt together three years
ago. The event is a wonderful
opportunity for those with disabilities and their families.
