Our missional focus for November is the Be the Good Project. The Be the Good Project is a local non-profit organization whose mission is to provide safe and simple ways for volunteers to help feed our neighbors who are experiencing hunger and food insecurity.

We will put together Holiday Care Packages on Sunday, November 24th, as a part of our Deck the Halls Christmas decorating event.

The shopping list of items can be found below as well as by Door 3 at the church. Please note that the items on this shopping list are specific items that have been requested. No substitutions, please.

Be the Good Holiday Care Packages are distributed through local schools and non-profits that serve families who are experiencing hunger and food insecurity across Northern Virginia. Email projectbethegood@gmail.com if you have questions.

How To Volunteer:

Purchase an entire shopping list of items (around $35)

Purchase items to go towards a bag of items (individually listed)

Make a contribution of $35 to sponsor an entire shopping list of items. (Check can be made to Aldersgate UMC, memo: Be The Good. We will buy the items to put in the shopping bag for you)

Couple of Things to Note:

We will need all items purchased (full bag or individual items) brought to the church by Wednesday, November 20th. Please place food donations in the bin at Door 3.

Church Office open Monday - Thursday, 10am-4pm
