Spread Christmas Cheer to the Men of Leland Place
Looking for an opportunity to give back amidst the bustle of holidays? Our next dinner at Leland Place, a halfway house for men in recovery from addiction and homelessness, is planned for Saturday, December 17. Our usual practice is to gather in the church kitchen at 2:30 p.m. with the goal of carpooling to Leland, on North Capitol Street, in time to serve dinner at 5 p.m. We return to the church by 6:30 p.m. Volunteers generally share in the cost of the meal (up to $20 per volunteer), but you are most welcome to donate just your labor. RSVP, please, to Dave Skidmore at dave_skidmore@verizon.net.
The dining room of Leland rang with good cheer at an early Thanksgiving feast prepared by volunteers Eric Solomon, Marsha Silverberg, and Dave Skidmore on Saturday, November 19. The men dined heartily on oven-baked chicken, stuffing, whipped yams, and steamed broccoli. (And thanks to Judy Burns for her donation of pies - sweet potato and lemon coconut.)
Leland Place is a facility of S.O.M.E. (So Others Might Eat).
