Team Scores Donation for Food Pantry

Challenge Grant Update  

The annual ACCA Challenge Grant Campaign is seeking to raise $156,000 by February 28. Our goal is to raise $3 for every $1 of the challenge. Can you help?  

If you were busy or traveling over the holidays, there is still time to contribute to the campaign. Funds will be used to help local families in need. With your help, we are able to prevent evictions, keep the utilities on, and provide food, medications, and essential household furnishings. Like the Good Samaritan, ACCA helps those facing a crisis, without regard to race, color, or creed. ACCA also provides quality child care to low income families through the Child Development Center. Help us meet our ambitious goal by making an online donation through the Catalogue for Philanthropy, or by sending a check to the ACCA Challenge Grant, 7200 Columbia Pike, Annandale, VA 22001.

Share the Warmth Clothing Collection 
Do you have a closet full of coats, hats, or jackets you no longer wear? ACCA is collecting warm winter outer wear for distribution to day laborers and residents at Baily's Crossroads Community Shelter. We are seeking donations of new or gently worn jackets and coats, hooded sweat shirts, heavy sweaters, stocking type hats, gloves and heavy scarfs.

Churches interested in participating in the February clothing drive may call the Di Spiritos at (703) 256-9513 or email dondispirito@verizon.net or ddmld@verizon.net to schedule a pickup during the day or evening, between Feb. 3 and Feb. 6. The last pick up will be at St. Michael's on Thursday evening, Feb. 6, from 7 - 8:15 p.m. The items collected will be distributed on Friday, February 7.
