Florida Politics / April 14, 2020

This year, Christians celebrated Easter mostly at home instead of churches. While some had Easter meals with family, others did not have the financial means to do the same.

Rep. Frederica Wilson and her 5,000 Role Models of Excellence project jumped in to make the day brighter for some. She organized contributions of $100 gift cards from Publix to help some families in need.

"We're all concerned right now, about all of the children that are shut-in, all of the families that are struggling, all of the families that can't put food on the table," the Miami Gardens Democrat said.

Kids were not left out. Wilson and the organization gave out 50 Easter baskets filled with chocolate goodies.
