The Holiday Market is a churchwide mission event benefiting children and families who are not already sponsored for Christmas, and we need plenty of hands and help to make it possible. For those willing to give, we need your donations of new, unwrapped toys for kids ages 0–17 years, as well as new or gently used winter coats for children and adults and $20 Walmart gift cards or monetary donations to purchase gift cards. Starting November 15, you can place toys and coats in the blue bins in the Narthex or the large box in the corner of the church office, and you can drop off gift cards or monetary donations with Dawn in the office. Tax deductible receipts are available for donations. For those interested in volunteering, keep an eye out on Snippets and the website for a sign-up link. If you have any questions, please contact Leslie Carter at lesliecarterre@aol.com.
Please note that this event is available through Fairfax City Social Services and not open to the general public. If you are a family with children looking for help this holiday season, please reach out to the social worker at your child’s school. They’ll be able to match you with an appropriate program for people in your area, whether that’s our Holiday Market or something else.
