Now in its 11th Year!
Our community has supported the Mt. Rona toy drive for 11 years.
Families from Stoddert School in Glover Park, where Bernice McCallum
taught for 13 years, first adopted the program and continue to support
this most worthy cause. Over the years this grass roots effort
has
gained support in adjoining neighborhoods as well. If you have

St. Columba's
All year Mt. Rona Church (on 13th and Monroe Sts, NW) provides a
Saturday School that is open and free to children. The church
is a
small storefront with limited resources but they provide a safe place,
a
hot meal and activities for the kids. This Saturday meal is critical
for kids
dependent on the school lunch program. Some of the children live
in
nearby shelters. This ongoing program is accomplished by a small
group
of dedicated volunteers.
For Christmas, Mt. Rona holds a Christmas celebration, including a
dinner, to give toys to these children. Last year was the biggest
yet!
Help make this year as gratifying. All items in good condition
are
welcome, and your donation is tax deductible.
Want to meet the folks at Mt. Rona? The celebration is on December
15th
11-3pm, RSVP 726-5852.
