IMPORTANT
Food & Clothing Drives
|
 |
|
Food and Clothing
Drives must be on our calendar! We appreciate your donations but ask that you
call first to help us prepare for your delivery and to ensure that there are
enough volunteers to manage the volume of incoming donations.
Food Drives will be
needed during the spring and summer (April - August) months. During the winter and fall, however, less is
needed.
Our Thrift Store is currently
at maximum capacity for clothing donations, however, FURNITURE donations
(anything except padding, mattresses) are desperately needed!
Please visit our
website for a current listing of donations hours.
Thank you!

2009 Grants
As we begin the New Year, we remain extremely grateful to those
foundations and organizations who supported our programs with grant funding in
2009. They include:

freezers
- Financial Investments, Inc. - $6,000 in support of the Emergency Financial Services (EFS)
program
- Community Foundation of the National
Capital Area's Neighbors-in-Need Fund- $20,000 in
support for the EFS program
- The Gannett Foundation - $5,000 to purchase fresh milk for our food pantry clients
- The John Edward Fowler Foundation - $10,000 in operating support
- The Fannie Mae
Foundation- Through mini-walks
hosted by local schools in our service area during October and November, we
were able to raise a total of $19,764.00. These funds should be available
to us during the first half of 2010.

Catalogue for Philanthropy
In a recent issue of our Ezine, we announced the exciting news
that WFCM had been selected for inclusion in the 2009/2010 issue of the
Catalogue for Philanthropy. This was a huge honor for us and WFCM is already
reaping the benefits. Donations have come in from foundations who read
about us in the catalog, as well as from individuals who have donated on-line.
If you have not yet had a chance to visit the Catalogue website,
we would encourage you to do so. The website address is www.cfp-dc.org. You can view WFCM's
Catalogue homepage as well as those of the 63 other non-profits selected.
Donations are accepted on-line to make giving even easier!

2009 Holiday Baskets: SUCCESS!
Thanks to all who helped ensure that all families requesting food
assistance this holiday season were able to be served. We had 625
families in need of Thanksgiving food assistance, and 775 families who asked
for support at Christmas time. The outpouring of support from the community was
huge, and enabled WFCM to make sure all families had food sponsors.
Special thanks to Terri Miller and St. Timothy's Catholic Church, Chris Granberg and Centreville
United Methodist
Church and John Hefferan and Pender United
Methodist Church
for going above and beyond (as usual!) in their support of this program. Thanks
also go out to Bonnie Hobbs and the Centreview. It was Bonnie's
article in the December 10-17th edition of the paper that really got
the local community mobilized. Checks, gift cards, and phone calls from
donors caming pouring in from the day the paper was published. Without
the exposure the article provided, we may not have been able to meet our
goal. Again, THANKS TO ALL!!
