Christmas came early to 18 women and their families from the Gabriel Project of Arlington thanks to Our Lady of Good Counsel’s Christmas in July event. The Pro-Life Committee of the Women of Our Lady of Good Counsel collected items for several weeks in June and distributed them on Sunday, July 1. Local moms selected items for their new or soon-to-be arrivals and siblings that included car seats, bath items, crocheted blankets and quilted playmats (handmade by parishioners), books, and toys. OLGC donated remaining items to A Women’s Choice.
Generous parishioners donated:
• 100+ pieces of newborn to 4T clothes,
• 80 boxes of diapers,
• 32 packages of baby wipes,
• 20+ crocheted blankets and quilted playmats hand-made by parishioners,
• 4 umbrella strollers,
• 4 car seats, and
• much more.
