6,000 Easter eggs have been donated to help put smiles on the faces of homeless children.

Following Health Minister Simon Harris’ announcement that the Easter Bunny has been given the go ahead to work this weekend, Mars Ireland has donated trucks full of chocolate goodies to Inner City Helping Homeless.

This means everyone’s favourite furry friend will be able to deliver Easter eggs to children in emergency accommodation, such as B&B’s, hostels and hotels.

The donation was received via the charity partners, Food Cloud who have been working closely with them during the Covid-19 pandemic.

“It’s a big big operation, we are feeding up to two thousand people per day,” CEO Anthony Flynn said in a video posted to YouTube.

He went on to promise that he’s working closely with the Easter Bunny via #OperationEasterBunny to ensure that every child who is in emergency accommodation receives an Easter egg.
