Arcola's Giving Tree: Sharing Hope, Love, and Joy This Holiday Season!
The Arcola Giving Tree is an annual holiday outreach program that brings our church and community together to share God's love and make the season brighter for local families in need. This year, we are partnering with Creighton's Corner Elementary, Elaine Thompson Elementary, Brambleton Middle, Watson Mountain Middle, and Independence High School to provide Christmas gifts for more than 500 children, youth, and adult family members. With your generosity and support, we can ensure that every individual is remembered, celebrated, and blessed this Christmas. There are several ways to get involved, and every act of kindness makes a difference!
Help Provide Bedding for Shelter House Residents
Throughout the month of October, we are partnering with Crossroads UMC to support Shelter House, Loudoun’s homeless shelter, with much-needed bedding for residents.
As colder weather approaches, Shelter House typically sees an increase in residents and prepares to open its Hypothermia Prevention Center, making the need for fresh bedding even greater. Currently, the shelter is requesting 150 pillows, 150 pillowcases, and 25 twin blankets.
You can help by purchasing these requested items through the Amazon link below and having your donation shipped directly to Shelter House.
Your gift will make an impact beyond a resident’s stay at the shelter. Residents use the bedding while they are at Shelter House and are able to take these items with them when they move into permanent housing, helping make their new space feel more like home.
Thank you for helping provide comfort, warmth, and a fresh start to our neighbors in Loudoun County.
