Non-profit House of Mercy (HOM) is gearing up for their annual “Christmas with Mercy” program.
According to a release, this is the seventh year the organization has done the program, where “individuals and community organizations provide gifts as a special Christmas donation for the children who receive food and clothing aid from the House of Mercy.”
HOM is hoping to provide Christmas gifts to 350 low-income children whose families are eligible, as the parents are taking finance and self-improvement classes with the non-profit.
“We love to welcome groups and individuals to help with the annual event. People may visit our website, then follow the link to our SignUpGenius page, to sign up online for their volunteer job and time. Volunteer slots start on Wednesday December 13 and end with the event on Saturday December 16th when our client parents come to the gift distribution,” stated HOM Executive Director Ann Cimini in a release.
More on how to donate, from a release:
Gifts are accepted at the HOM Donation Center during regular donation hours.
The Donation Center is located at 8162 Flannery Court, Manassas. Gifts must be received at HOM by Thursday December 14th.
Because client children might be receiving only one gift, HOM requests the gifts to be valued in the $20- $25 range.
