‘Food 4 Trees’ Generates $7,000 in Food Donations
For the third consecutive year, A.V. Remodeling and Construction galvanized the local community to help local families in need with their "Food 4 Trees" holiday food drive. According to Vincent D’Avena, owner of A.V. Remodeling and Construction, the "Food 4 Trees" program started in 2009 as a way to encourage food donations during the holidays. "Food 4 Trees" provides discounted Frasier Fir trees in exchange for $30 food donation pledges. In November, the A.V. Remodeling and Construction started taking pre-orders for trees and the food donation pledges. More than 115 families from Northern Virginia participated in the program this year.
A truckload of food was collected Dec. 3-4 at The Old Firehouse Teen Center in McLean, where participants picked up their trees. Volunteers of all ages helped cut and help load trees for participants. This year’s food donations, valued at more than $7,000, were distributed to the food pantries at Longfellow Middle School and McLean High School and Share, Inc., of McLean.
"Food 4 Trees" is grateful to corporate sponsors including McLean Hardware, McLean Copy, HG Hospitality Group and the Old Firehouse Teen Center. To learn more about the "Food 4 Trees" program, visit www.avremodeling.com/food4trees.
Labyrinth Walk at Charles Wesley UMC
Charles Wesley UMC will open its labyrinth to the public on Saturday, Jan. 14, 4-7 p.m. in the church’s Fellowship Hall, 6817 Dean Drive in McLean.
A labyrinth is a path which leads, via a circuitous route, to the center of an intricate design and back out again. Unlike a maze, a labyrinth is easy to navigate and it's impossible to get lost within one.
Visitors can walk the labyrinth at their own pace and for their own reasons. They can walk in contemplation, in search of guidance, in remembrance, in grief, in thanksgiving, to work on their balance, or simply to try something new.
For more information call 703-356-6336 or contact charleswesleyumc@verizon.net.
