Congregation Sha’are Shalom is a sponsor of the Homeless Walk on Saturday November 19th in La Plata. Starting and ending at the La Plata Town Hall, this 3 mile walk is not only healthy exercise it helps support the Safe Night Program. Safe Nights provides a warm shelter and food at a one of 19 volunteer local churches for 30 homeless county families every night during the coldest part of the year, from Nov 1 through Apr 1. While we cannot be a host facility we can help financially to defray part of the food, clothing and supplies needed for this non-governmental program. We are asking our congregants to walk as part of our team and donate $15 per walker or $25 per family. For those who are unable to join us at 9am on the 19th, donations are appreciated.
Please send your donations, payable to Congregation Sha’are Shalom to Lee Weinberger at 4826 Bryantown Rd., Waldorf, MD 20601-4240 by Nov 7th along with T-Shirt size for each walker.
