Here are some of our projects that request your donations BEFORE Sunday, Sept 8:

KIDS – Expect the Unexpected

Every day an elementary school expects children will have accidents, spills, and falls! This September, Holy Trinity's Women of the ELCA together with the entire congregation on God's Work, Our Hands Sunday will join forces to provide Frederick Douglass Elementary with clothing for these unexpected times - so children can change to clean clothes and quickly get back to their classroom routines.

Check the clothesline in the Commons beginning August 18 for clothes that are needed. You can sign-up online

BIRTHDAY IN A BOX

For many homeless children the idea of a birthday party, or even a cake is not a reality!
However, as part of God’s Work, Our Hands Sunday, we will make it possible. Through a creative cake
recipe using only nonperishable ingredients we will be creating Birthday Cake Boxes to be distributed to children with housing insecurity! Sign up at:

Support Mobile Hope

During the month of April we are supporting Mobile Hope, a local organization that empowers homeless and at risk youth.

Mobile Hope works to change the Social Determinants of Health for children and young adults (24 years of age and younger) who are precariously housed, homeless, and at risk, living in Loudoun County.  They create pathways for this fragile, overlooked and often unacknowledged population to have access to daily essentials and life changing support.

Our concentration this month will be to collect the follow items to donate towards Mobile Hope’s programs of support:

  • Canned Tuna
  • Canned chicken
  • Granola Bars
  • Canned Fruit
  • Cereal
  • Canned Veggies
  • Macaroni and Cheese
  • Hearty Soups
  • Snacks and peanut butter crackers

Please place your donations in the “Golden Cart” located in the church.

Help a Community

Peep-le Get Ready!

Little Blessings Preschool & Holy Trinity this Easter are collecting orders to purchase chicks to make a difference in families and communities in over 88 countries.

Help a family spread their wings. When chicks grow up to become chickens, their eggs not only provide an ongoing supply of protein-rich meals — they can also help start a small business and generate a steady source of income.

$10 per order will purchase 10 chicks. 10 for 10!

ORDERS WILL BE COLLECTED FROM 2/18-3/10.

To order, Contact preschooldirector@holytrinityleesburg.org  or office@holytrinityleesburg.org
