Committee for Helping Others

At our last Board meeting, Steward and Marlyn Gordon, David Wilson, and Sandra Frederick gave a brief presentation about the inaugural Vienna Robert Burns Ball held at the Vienna Moose Lodge on Jan 24, 2026. The Ball included a silent auction; and they presented a check to CHO for $2849.06.

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

We are excited that Giant Food has selected CHO to benefit from the Community Bag Program throughout the month of MARCH.

Every time a $2.75 reusable Community Bag is purchased at the Vienna Giant located at 359 Maple Ave E., $1 will be donated to CHO. This is a great way to broaden awareness of our mission and help our cause.

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

Thanks, Anne Moran, CHO Publicity

CHO Christmas Store Spreads JOY
One hundred and two families (615 individuals) were helped at this year’s CHO Christmas Store, and some gift cards and packages are still being delivered. Thanks to the 80 volunteers who showed up to help and to all who donated toys, cash and gift cards! We couldn’t have done it without you!

Our third shed for furniture is finally up and available for our use. Thanks to all who helped make it happen. As a reminder, we do accept donations of gently used furniture that would be useful for smaller dwelling areas; beds and tables and chairs most needed. Call 202-681-5279 for more information.
