Fairfax St., Alexandria, VA 22314) When: Thursday, February 20, 6:00 - 9:00am Metro: Carpool from King Street Metro (Blue / Yellow) You're reading it right, we are doing an early morning volunteer project! Continuing with our street outreach efforts and homeless awareness, we are making breakfast and spending time with the guests at Open Table in Alexandria. DCYP Board Members will begin setting up the food as early as 5:45 AM, wrapping up by 9 AM, but feel free to arrive later or leave earlier as needed. Open Table welcomes our area’s underserved neighbors every Thursday morning from 6-8 AM in Heritage Hall. In its first 18 weeks (through December 2013), Meeting House volunteers served over 340 breakfast meals and provided as many “to-go bags” with food for the day. This hands-on ministry is the work of Meeting House members who donate time, money, food, and supplies weekly. Open Table’s goal is to provide nourishing meals in a safe and welcoming place where conversations are encouraged and meals are shared around the table. DCYP Kiwanis will be bringing in food and the warm spirit of our volunteers to interact with the guests. If you're interested in helping, and getting an awesome start to your work day, please email DCYP.Service@gmail.com. (While this location is not metro accessible, please indicate if you would like us to try to coordinate a ride for you from the King Street metro.) Ice Skating in Georgetown! *NEW* Where: Washington Harbour Georgetown (3050 K Street NW DC) When: Sunday, February 23, 3 - 5PM Metro: Foggy Bottom (Orange / Blue) Join your DCYP friends for some ice skating at the new Washington Harbour ice rink before the spring thaw! We'll meet at 3 PM, skate for a while and then go warm up nearby over some food and drinks. The Washington Harbour Fountain and Ice Rink, DC’s largest outdoor ice skating venue, is located in the lower plaza near the waterfront.
