In December, we will be participating in two great service projects. If you're interested in giving back this holiday season, email dcyp.service@gmail.com to sign-up. Have a great one! Ashley Upcoming Events  Gifts for the Homeless Clothing Drive Where: Warehouse- Use D Street Entrance (1201 Maryland Ave SW)  When: Saturday, December 7, 8:30am - 12:30pm Metro: Smithsonian (Blue / Orange) The annual Gifts for the Homeless clothing drive provides much-needed clothing for men, women, and children at over 70 DC-area shelters. Gathering at a large warehouse for a fun clothing-sorting party, DCYP will join hundreds of other volunteers to assist in sorting and bagging clothing donations. The event is always a favorite project of DCYP members! If you have clothing you would like to donate, feel free to bring it to the project! To sign up or learn more, contact dcyp.service@gmail.com. Food & Friends Where: Food & Friends (219 Riggs Road Washington DC 20000)    When: Monday, December 16, 6:00 - 8:00pm Metro: Fort Totten (Green / Yellow / Red) Join us this holiday season to volunteer at Food & Friends! The Food & Friends kitchen and grocery pantry prepares more than 3,000 meals each day, so it takes many helping hands to make sure all the food is prepped, portioned and packaged correctly. The kitchen is a fun, hands-on atmosphere where we will be preparing and bagging meals for their daily delivery to people living with life-challenging illnesses. Volunteers are asked to arrive promptly at 6pm. To sign up to volunteer, email dcyp.service@gmail.com.
	Eliminate Update Happy Holidays! After all the shopping, and giving thanks for what you do have, it doesn't stop there. Tuesday, December 3 is National Giving Day or "Giving Tuesday." It is a great chance to donate before the end of the year! We've been doing a great job with fundraising to achieve the worldwide goal of eliminating MNT [Maternal Neonatal Tetanus]. There are 26 countries left! See for yourself which countries are left.  With your financial help [It is only $1.80 per shot] we can continue to grow our club's contribution and aim to be one of the top fundraising clubs in our Kiwanis district! The best way to do that is donate at least $5. Then tell your friends and family about Giving Tuesday and to send them to the Eliminate Donation Page to make a contribution to our club! I am here if there are any questions or ideas on how to save mothers from the pain of losing their newborns and those children missing out on the chance to live life.
