Giving Back During the Holiday Season

There's nothing like being in the holiday spirit and giving your community the best you have to offer....your time.

With a number of different charitable organizations working to feed and clothe the needy, the least we can do is HELP. There's an extreme need for volunteers this season, to help manage the various charitable events taking place in the DMV. Check out the list below and see what fits into your schedule and share the information with your family and friends.

Remember, Christmas isn't about giving and receiving gifts, but instead about sharing and loving one another, and being a blessing to others....even strangers!

COAT DRIVE:
  • The Salvation Army will be conducting coat drive at local malls this weekend: Potomac Mills, Pentagon City, Lake Forest, and Bowie Town Center. They are looking for volunteers to staff coat donation tables at these malls on 12/19 from 11am-4pm and 12/20 from 12pm-5pm.

TOY DRIVE:
  • Also, if you are attending any Washington Wizards games, there will be a toy drive at every home game. If you or anyone you know are attending any games, please bring a toy to donate at Sec. 104-105 of the Verizon Center.

  • Last but not least, the Angel Tree Toy Distribution Warehouse is having a toy drive this weekend. The warehouse is located at 3335 V St. NE, DC 20018. Volunteers are needed to help manage the donation tables. If you can't volunteer your time, please feel free to drop by and make a donation.

If you are interested in volunteering for any of the above events, please contact, Lamont @ 202-756-2644 or 202-497-3910.


Thank you, and God Bless!!
