Help The Homeless

What we'll do

We plan on meeting at Grace Presbyterian Church at 9:30 AM on Saturday to assemble care packages to help people who have very little to survive.

After we assemble 120 backpack care packages, we plan to have coffee and snacks, and socialize. The backpacks will be driven to DC for distribution.

Looking forward to seeing you all at the Meetup.
