Thank you to OLGC : Thank you to OLGC for allowing CHO to collect gift cards and donations for our annual Christmas Store provided to needy families in this area. We collected over $5,400 in gift cards and donations.

As you know, in addition to toys for children under age 9, we provide grocery cards to families for holiday meals and gift cards for parents to purchase presents for older children. Last year (see below) our Christmas program helped over 180 families (almost 500 people).

Help CHO – Help CHO by buying a reusable bag at Giant this August!

CHO has been selected to partner with the Giant Food Community Bag Program! CHO will receive $1 for every $2.75 reusable Giant Food Community Bag sold during all of August at the GIANT food store located at 359 Maple Avenue, East Vienna VA.

This program not only promotes sustainability by reducing plastic waste but also provides a meaningful opportunity to grow awareness and support for our mission within the community.

It’s that simple, and it adds up fast!

If you’re able, please buy a bag and help spread the word.

As Scotland's national poet himself said, "The heart benevolent and kind, The most resembles God.” Thank you !

Please buy a bag, and share the news with friends and family!
