 Lorton Community
Action Center Food Drive

Thanks to all who contributed to the Lorton Community Action Center Food Collection during Lent. Over 500 pounds of food were contributed during Lent to help stock the shelves. Consider making it a habit to bring food into Church on a regular basis! If each family in Pohick brought in one item each week, the impact would be remarkably profound.  LCAC serves a growing number of families in the community. Their goal is to help families improve their lives and assist them toward self-sufficiency. The current wish list is for boxed cereals, diapers (size 4 and 5), canned meats, pasta and sauce, canned fruits, and canned vegetables.

Gunston Partners Program

The fourteenth year of sponsoring the Gunston Partners Tutoring Program will soon be completed. This program benefits the students of Gunston Elementary School by providing one-on-one tutoring for the students throughout the school year. During the 2007-2008 school year, there have been over 30 students enrolled in the program.

After 14 years, the original coordinators of the Gunston Partners Program, Diana Rock and Susan Homar, are looking for two new volunteers to take over the coordination of the program. One of the positions is the primary contact with Gunston Elementary School; the other is the liaison with Pohick Church. The format for the program is established and the current coordinators will be happy to help new volunteers transition into the leadership roles for the program. Please contact Susan Homar to learn more about this very worthwhile outreach volunteer activity.
