Holiday Helping Hands at G.W. Carver Elementary 2016

This content has been archived. It may no longer be relevant

On Saturday, Dec. 3, 2016, George Washington Carver Elementary will open its door to invited families who need help for the upcoming holiday season.  The selected families will be able to choose from new toys and household items (which we will wrap before they go home), as well as gently used items. Set up for the event is Dec. 2nd from 3:00 – 6:00 pm and family shopping is Saturday, Dec. 3rd from 9:00 am – Noon.

This is where we need your help!  Starting November 1, 2016, G.W. Carver Elementary will be accepting new and used items for our families.  Many new items that are needed are board games, puzzles, toys, blankets for the homes, etc.  In addition, any gently used items (household items, toys, coats, etc.) is also needed.  This is a great time to clean out your attics and basements and donate what you can.  In addition, non-perishable food items are also accepted to help these families in need.

We are also looking for helpers on each day.  On Friday, we will be setting up and sorting all of the items starting at 3 pm.  On Saturday starting at 8:30 am, we need people who would like to help the families “shop,” as well as wrap the new items the families select.

If you are interested in donating and/or helping with this event, please contact Lisa McCoy (Parent Liaison at G.W. Carver Elementary) at [email protected] or 301-863-4076 ext. 44125.
