The countywide "Stuff the Bus" food drive will be collecting donations for the ACCA Food Pantry at the Annandale Giant Food at 7137  Columbia Pike on February 10 from 9:30 a.m. - 4 p.m. After the holidays, donations taper off and food pantries need your help. We encourage you to go shopping that day and pick up something extra for the ACCA Pantry.

 

ACCA also needs volunteers for 2-hour shifts at the Giant store and to transport and shelve the donations. This is an especially good opportunity for students who need community service hours. To sign up, please contact Jean Rackowski at (703) 914-8066 or henry.jean@verizon.net .

The 2017  Annandale CROP Hunger Walk raised a total of $18,011 for Church World Service (CWS). Eleven ACCA churches participated through donors, walkers, and/or volunteers. The CROP Walk raises funds for Church World Service, which works to provide hunger and disaster relief, clean water and improved sanitation around the world. CWS provides disaster relief in the US and returns part of the funds raised to community organizations that fight hunger. In December ACCA received a check from CWS for $3985, as part of the local share. Thanks to the top fundraising church, John Calvin Presbyterian Church ($5929) and to the top fundraising walker, Sally Norris of United Baptist Church ($5815).
