Update! (December 14, 2008): We are still in need of donations; we have enough volunteers for wrapping presents. Thank you
4th Annual Christmas for All
Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukah, Kwanza or other religious holidays, the meaning of this event transcends all religious and agnostic beliefs and has a common denominator with all humanity. It is simply about helping fellow human beings and doing what is right. We will be giving to those who have absolutely nothing, no shelter, no clothing, no family, no friends, no medical care and no place to call home. With the downturn of our economy, there has been a dramatic increase of individuals and families who have now become homeless. We are asking your help at this time to make a difference in their lives.
What is "Christmas for All" about?
Beginning December 1, 2008, we will be accepting all sorts of material and cash donations. On December 20th and 21st, many volunteers will get together to wrap the various new donations. Then on Christmas Eve, we will be bringing all donated items and handing them out to the homeless on the streets of Washington. We will also be making a large material donation of much needed toiletries (soap, shampoo, razors, etc) to the CCNV (Community for Creative Non-Violence) Washington, DC area’s largest homeless shelter and one of the largest in the United States.
Life's most urgent question is: What are you doing for others?
