Help The Homeless
Grace Presbyterian Church, 7434 Bath Street, Springfield, VA, US• What we'll do
We plan on meeting at Grace Presbyterian Church at 9:30 AM on Saturday to assemble care packages and help people who have very little and help them survive. This would be a great time to bring a friend or your children to do something good for humanity.
After we assemble the 120 backpack care packages, we plan to have coffee and snacks, socialize and then drive to DC to distribute the backpacks. If you choose to go with us, we'll return about 1:00 pm.
Looking forward to seeing you all at the Meetup.
