Thanks to everyone who answered the call to join us for March Mission Madness! Your service always matters and we’re grateful that you took part.
The madness began at 8:00 am on Saturday, March 11, when teams of youth and adults (60+ people) traveled to different service sites across the DMV. They built benches, prepared/handed out food, organized items in a warehouse, and tackled a variety of odd jobs for an animal rescue center. Then, on Sunday, March 12, they gathered for dinner to celebrate, share pictures, and tell stories.
What a day!
