On December 6th Homestretch held its annual Holiday Shopping Spree and Gift Wrapping Party! We had almost 75 children show up, and 25 volunteers to help out with all of the fun!
The Holiday Shopping Spree is a time where we try to teach the children in our program the joy of giving, and not just receiving. Each child gets $10 per member of their family and gets to go throughout Kmart and buy them each a gift for the Holidays. After the Shopping Spree everyone goes over to a local church and wraps their presents, eats snacks, and enjoys the season.
This year’s event was a total success! The children and their families enjoyed it, and the volunteers enjoyed spending time with the children. This event could not be made possible without the help of Kmart in Annandale, Annandale United Methodist Church, Amdocs, and all of the volunteers that came out to help. Thank you!
