Thanksgiving Day of Service
We inspire and strengthen those we serve so that they too may become an inspiration through strengthening themselves and serving their respective communities.
Economic factors such as unemployment and similar issues are continuing to cause economic issues for families in Loudoun County. Through a collaborative community effort, we are able to provide boxes of food that will feed a family of four or more during the Thanksgiving Holiday season. Our key partners have included local supermarkets, churches and schools. Our members collect, pack and distribute these boxes so that needy families in our community can have a wholesome holiday.
