39th Annual Drive Underway
Since 1984, the Douglas Park Civic Association has coordinated a Holiday Fund Drive to help those less fortunate in our community. It’s time to kick off this year’s effort. Working with teachers and counselors at Randolph Elementary School, we will support an “angel tree” type effort where children and families will make gift requests. Neighbors will provide monetary donations while volunteers will purchase and wrap special gifts for the children on our lists.
There are two ways that you can participate in this worthwhile effort. First, you can send a donation to the fund. Checks should be made out to Douglas Park Civic Association with ‘Holiday Fund Drive’ in the note; they should be mailed to Andy Price at 1716 S Pollard Street, Arlington, VA, 22204. Alternatively, you can donate to the cause online, via PayPal. Log onto your PayPal app and send the donation to the DPCA treasurer’s email account at treasurer@douglasparkca.org, OR use the the DPCA website and donate at http://www. douglasparkca.org/holiday‐fund/ . Second, we are in need of shoppers and wrappers for the gifts. Please contact Rita Wiggins at rmwiggins@verizon.net to volunteer or to have your questions answered. Thanks! We look forward to hearing from you!
