UNFORTUNATELY, WE ARE UNABLE TO ACCOMMODATE ANYMORE GUESTS. WE ARE AT CAPACITY FOR THIS EVENT.
The Washington, D.C., Alumni Chapter Board of Directors invites you to participate in an upcoming service event on Saturday, Dec. 15, at the National Center for Children and Families. Join area alumni and other volunteers to help make this holiday season more enjoyable for those in need. This is a great way to give back and practice the Jesuit ideal of "men and women for and with others."
We will help wrap gifts and prepare gift packages. It's all fun, hands-on work that directly benefits those in the greater D.C. area who are homeless and low-income. Volunteers must be at least 14 years old.
We hope you are able to participate in this wonderful event and stay connected to Loyola and fellow local alumni.
