ThanksGIVING in October
The Town’s annual Thanksgiving Dinner Basket effort is off to a great start. Thanks to many of our neighbors, we have already received generous contributions to purchase grocery cards for 20 of the 100 MCPS families being helped this Thanksgiving. Here is how you can help bring food and holiday cheer to MCPS families hit especially hard this year by the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
• Drop off or mail a check payable to YMCA-YFS or grocery cards from Giant or Aldi to Georgia Guhin (4006 Rosemary Street) from now through October 30. Your donation will help purchase a $75 food card for each of the 100 families.
• Stop by the porch of Katie Vita (6905 Maple Avenue) to pick up small white cartons and googly eyes. The grocery cards will be given to the 100 families in these beautifully decorated (by you!) containers. Return the decorated containers to her porch by October 30.
Can’t get to Georgia’s or Katie’s? Send an email to the Town Office (townoffice@townofchevychase.org) or Bridget Hartman (bridget@hartmanjr.net) for pick-up of your contribution and/or delivery of your boxes to decorate.
