This year has been a rough year for the Shoup House. Locusts, famine and pestilence have wrought havoc on our lifes. HA! Seriously, it's been a rough year emotionally. But, as rough as it's been, we have our health, we have food to eat and we have each other to help forge through the tough times.
For the next two weeks, as we head into Thanksgiving, KIC is leading the charge for a food drive. Our goal is to give five boxes, and any cash donations, Food and Friends. Food and Friends delivers food to people who are shut ins in the DC Metro region. The mission of Food & Friends is to foster a community caring for men, women and children living with HIV/AIDS, cancer and other life-challenging illnesses by preparing and delivering specialized meals and groceries in conjunction with nutrition counseling.
We will be collecting food and monetary donations here at the Shoup House until Sunday, November 24. We will coordinate with Food and Friends to deliver the goods shortly after. As you prepare your Thanksgiving feast, take a look at the non-perishables in your pantry and consider donating them to this worthy cause. All donations are tax deductible and we promise to provide you with plenty of pictures.
The drop off address:
25521 Upper Clubhouse Dr
Chantilly, VA 20152
We hope you'll join us in spreading holiday cheer for those who may desperately need it.
