Are you a curent or retired World Bank employee? We need at least 10 World Bank employees or retirees to pledge at least $50 each as part of the World Bank Community Connections Fund. (Cumulative donation must be a minimum of $500.00 and no less than 10 persons.)
Please help us if you are an employee or retiree or if you know one. You can email your commitment to Claire, our Director of Development, at Claire@gmcgt.org. We need 10 commitments by March 15 so that we can apply to be reinstated for the 2013 campaign.
We want to thank Calvary Road Christian School for recently running a hat, glove, and washcloth drive! They collected so many washcloths for us that washcloths are no longer a top need of ours. We will, of course, accept them if you happen to have been collecting them for us, but for the time being, there is no need to go out and buy washcloths for us.
What we could use:
Yarn: Our little crochet group is making blankets, sweaters, scarves, and bags at an incredible pace! It would be a great help to them if people could donate several skeins of yarn in the same color. Our crocheters tell me that it’s about 7-8 skeins for a blanket. At least 3-4 skeins of the same color would be appreciated.
Sandwiches: We could use some on the weekends and a few more on Mondays and Wednesdays. If interested, please contact Stephanie (stephanie@gmcgt.org) before bringing them in.
Happy Holidays! We hope everyone had a wonderful holiday surrounded by loved ones. Thank you to everyone who has donated sandwiches, hats, scarves, gloves, toothbrushes, washcloths, and socks. You have been a tremendous help, and our members appreciate everything you’re doing to help keep them warm.
If you are in the DC area this week and have a bit of time, would you please consider making sandwiches and bringing them in to the center? With people on vacation and out of town, there has been a lull in sandwich donations. Can you help us out this Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, or Saturday?
Questions – please call Stephanie at 202-338-8301. Thank you!
Today, we received a small box of socks in the mail, courtesy of a former Grace Church parishioner who now lives in Colorado. Our supporters are so amazing and thoughtful, even when they are far away. Thank you!!!
Have you ever wanted to donate sandwiches, but didn’t because you can’t make the commitment or don’t know if it’s for you?
This Thursday is your chance to try it out and help out Georgetown Ministry Center! Our regular Thursday sandwich donor is unable to come this week, leaving us with an empty slot in our calendar and even emptier bellies in our center. These sandwiches help our guests make it from one meal to the next.
Sisters Paige and Elizabeth Hill recently discovered how fun and how easy donating sandwiches can be. Read about their experience on our blog here.
Interested in bringing sandwiches? Please contact Stephanie, Program Coordinator, at stephanie@gmcgt.org or call her at 202-338-8301.
