Outreach During The Holidays: An Opportunity To Be An Elf!

As the holidays approach, there are several opportunities to be Christmas elves.

On Saturday morning, December 9 a Breakfast with Santa will be hosted for the benefit of LCAC families. To help with this event, please contact Susan Homar.

On Monday, December 11 the New Hope Housing Christmas Party for residents of the Kennedy Shelter and Mondloch House will be hosted at Pohick. Gift tags are available in the Common Room to provide all residents of the shelters with a Christmas gift. Please select a tag from the felt tree on the wall in the Common Room, and bring the UNWRAPPED gifts to church by Sunday, December 10. There are many opportunities to be a Christmas elf for this event. Sign up sheets for food contributions are located at the bottom of the stairs on the bulletin board. To assist with serving the food, set up, or cleanup, please contact Susan Homar.
