Food Packing Event
Saturday, November 16, 2019 foodpacking

This year our Knollwood Thanksgiving offering will involve teaming with "The Outreach Program" to package 15,000 meals on Saturday the 16th of November. These meals will be provided to our Northern Virginia neighbors through the Columbia Baptist food pantry in Annandale. 

Please consider making a donation of $25.00 (100 meals). Each bag contains 6 meals at a cost of $1.50.  Donations can be made by writing a check to Knollwood, in the memo section write "Food Packing Event."  Questions? Contact Glenn Keller at  glenn.keller@hotmail.com .
Central Union Mission - Volunteers Needed - Tuesday, November 19, 2019 volunteers

On Tuesday, November 19th, Feed the Children, Concord Hospitality, and Central Union Mission are partnering to feed and assist 400 families in need.  Each family will receive a 25-pound box of food, a
15-pound box of essentials, and additional food items.  

They need us to help set-up, distribute boxes, assist elderly folks by moving the boxes in grocery shopping carts to their vehicles, and cleaning-up.  Should be back at KCC by 1pm latest.
 
The plan is to meet at the KCC parking lot at 7am since we need to be there at 8am.  The event runs from 9am to 11am but based on the size of the crowd it might run a little later.  Currently there are five men signed up to go and we have more room since the van is available.  Let me know if you plan on attending or have questions.  Glenn.keller@hotmail.com 

Tracy, the director, advises:  Lots of people, chaos, and tremendous blessings.

Special thanks to Tom and Sandy Rogers for opening up their home and farm to about 25 energetic and excited teenagers! We had a great time making smores, playing games, gazing at horses and being enamored by the 20-foot bonfire flames. Thank you for being generous hosts to us!!
