We are coordinating our holiday food & gift programs as well as fund raising for our other important projects. We are asking Beltsville businesses, schools, service organizations, social clubs, churches, and individuals to help us provide food and gifts to needy families within our community for the holidays. We will use our funds for other important projects. Those other projects include a Scholarship, the Adopt–A–Road Program, the Beltsville Beautification Project and partnerships with other Beltsville organizations.
There are times during the year when a family has reached out to us in a crisis. We would like to be able to help them as well. We hope you can assist us in these worthwhile endeavors. We provide a Thanksgiving meal (gift card from Aldi’s) for the entire family. At Christmas, we also provide presents for children. We accept new toys and new clothes for children. Monetary contributions & store gift cards are also appreciated. Gift Card suggestions include Target, TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Ross, Kohl’s, Giant, Aldi’s, Lidl’s, Shopper’s, Visa, MasterCard, Amazon, Walmart or Grocery Outlet.
