The ‘Sweet’ Alice Easter Giveaway is underway

“Sweet” Alice Harris and her nonprofit organization Parents of Watts Inc. will be giving away Easter dresses for girls and five-piece suits for boys at an event on Saturday.

Hundreds of students in the third-through-fifth grades at seven elementary schools in the Watts community will be eligible to receive the clothing. The event will begin at 8:30 a.m. and continue until all the supplies are gone.

Harris is known for her Christmas giveaways, sponsored by the group
she founded in the mid 1960s. This is her first-ever Easter event.

In addition to the free outfits, Harris will also be providing other items of clothing, along with free bags of canned goods, shoes, blankets at gift cards to Food4Less.

The event will take place at POW, Inc. at 10828 Dillon Ave.
