Holiday Baskets
We have received the names of the 10 families we will be supporting for this year's Virginia Beach Holiday Project. We are collecting funds for Food Lion gift cards and Target gift cards for the 17 children in those families. The Thanksgiving Food Lion gift cards have been sent. Our goal is to raise a minimum of $1425 to provide food and merchandise gift cards for both Thanksgiving and Christmas.
We're continually planning meaningful gatherings and activities for our community. Please remember to check back regularly to stay informed about these events and join in the wonderful experiences we have in store for you.
