Help the Homeless Walk a Success -- Thanks to You
I'd like to thank everyone who made last Sunday's Help the Homeless Walk such a big success. St. Anne's had over 130 people walking and raised over $3,000, we'll add $2,500 in matching funds to that for a total of over $5,500! Many people worked hard to make this happen; all our teams, our great volunteers and everyone who walked. I'd like to highlight two people in particular: Pat Sartorius who has been involved with the Walk for the past six months, advising Cornerstones on the route and leading our walker campaign; and Martha Furniss, who came up with the idea of bagging toiletries for the shelter and managed the tent activities at St. Anne's. We are fortunate to have such an engaged congregation.

Thanksgiving Boxes Coming Soon!
One of our favorite local outreach opportunities, Thanksgiving Boxes for Cornerstones. We have a new goal this year to provide 100 Thanksgiving dinners to needy families served in Reston in a collaborative effort with Cornerstones. Starting Sunday, Nov. 2 there will be boxes in the Narthex with a sign-up sheet listing items needed for each box. In order to accommodate this newly increased goal (and lack of box storage space) we are starting a new tradition of letting you take the box home to fill! Please return your box to St. Anne's by Sunday, Nov. 16. All monetary donations and gift cards should be marked for Thanksgiving Boxes and left in Tim's mailbox. We will also need volunteers to help check the returned boxes on Monday, Nov. 17 at 7 p.m., and to deliver the boxes on
Thursday, Nov. 20 at 1 p.m. to a local donation site in Reston. Click here to sign up to deliver Thanksgiving baskets. Questions? Please contact Robin George.
