ULI Washington Service Opportunity: Community of Hope Holiday Market
Please register by clicking the button below or email Emily Weberman,
The ULI Washington Young Leaders Community Service Committee is looking forward to hosting its fifth annual holiday service opportunity for volunteers of all ages with our community partner, Community of Hope. Community of Hope's Holiday Market welcomes about 200 families each year to The Conway Health and Resource Center in Ward 8 to support local small businesses, take photos with Santa, and do festive crafts. Local entrepreneurs will also have tables to sell their items to enable Community of Hope families to purchase holiday gifts at reasonable prices.
Community of Hope's mission is to create opportunities for low-income families in Washington, DC, including those experiencing homelessness, to achieve good health, a stable home, family-sustaining income, and hope.
ULI Washington volunteers will help with serving snacks, assisting with arts & crafts, gingerbread decorating, storytelling, and help with overall support for the event.
If you cannot attend, Community of Hope would appreciate donations of new unwrapped toys or books, you can bring these donations to the event or drop them off at ULI Headquarters under the name of Emily Weberman (2001 L Street NW, Suite 200).
The Holiday Market runs from 12:00 PM -3:00 PM, and we'd like volunteers to arrive no later than 11:15 to sign-in, get a volunteer t-shirt, and get settled in their roles.
Please note that all volunteers will receive lunch on behalf of the Community of Hope.
