Also, as a reminder, the DCYP Member holiday party is this weekend. See details below. Not a member? Read below on how to get more information. Also, a big thanks to all of the volunteers that came to Gifts for the Homeless last Saturday. I think this tweet from GFTH sums up what a great event it was: Gifts for the Homeless 2014 Annual Clothing Drive: Last weekend, over 400 volunteers helped to sort and deliver over 3,700 bags of donated clothing to nearly 60 area shelters!! (Source: Twitter @GFTH) Ashley Upcoming Events Age in Place *NEW* Where: Seabury at Home First (2501 18th St., NE) When: Saturday, January 10, (9:00am - 12:00pm) Metro: Rhode Island (Red) In 2015 we're excited to once again volunteer with Seabury at Home First for their Age-In-Place program, which provides basic home maintenance services, such as house cleaning and yard maintenance, to older adults living in DC's Wards 4 and 5. This amazing program allows the eldery to continue living independently in their homes with a little outside assistance from volunteers like us. Just like helping out at grandma and grandpa's house! For those of you using metro, Seabury provides a free pick-up/drop-off from the Rhode Island metro station - please indicate in your RSVP if you'd like to use this service. To RSVP, please email the Service Team at dcyp.service@gmail.com.
