We’re just one week away from Easter and while it will look different this year, we are ready to celebrate while practicing social distance
Plan for a happy Easter at home, gather some things at the grocery store to get in your Easter baskets and find out everything else you want to know about Easter 2020
We’ve got some information for you on celebrating Easter in the midst of COVID-19. While some of our favorite holiday happenings may not be taking place or looking quite the same this year, it will still be a joyous holiday for you and your family under your roof.
Looking for ideas on having a happy Easter at home? Start here and remember – you don’t have to do it all! Just pick a thing or two, if you celebrate. Assembling Easter baskets doesn’t have to be stressful or have you running all over town – get our ideas on what you may already have laying around, what you can pick up at the grocery store, or what’s available to order online (don’t delay… now is the time so it arrives before next week). As for food, you may need to know when the grocery stores are open currently or which restaurants are taking Easter brunch or dinner orders to go.
How about finding a local church that is streaming its services – we have this list ready for you, and your church can submit its times to be included if they will be streaming, too.
Finally, Passover is coming up next week and you can learn all about celebrating in Champaign-Urbana here.
