UCM Holiday Gift Room Donations Due 12/13!
We especially have an urgent need for gifts for girls ages 5-9, boys + girls ages 10-14, and books for children ages 8 - 14.
The UCM Holiday Gift Room is ready for your donations - toys, books, games + warm clothing to reach our goal of happy smiles on the faces of the 1,200 less-fortunate kids registered with UCM!
The official due date isn't until Fri. 12/13 -- but if you've got yours ready (or a quantity), we're open M-F 8.30am - 6pm to receive them at UCM's main office -- 7511 Fordson Rd. If you're a group or drive that already has a big stash ready, we're happy to pick them up. Just email Ali at Alexandra.Bermudez@ucmagency.org to arrange a convenient time!
You can also drop gifts off at our participating retail locations -- including Burke & Herbert Bank Alexandria branches, Grounded Coffee Shop on Telegraph Rd., Gold's Gym Richmond Hwy., Mamma's Kitchen, Starbucks Mt. Vernon Plaza, zpizza Alexandria- Richmond Hwy + Honest-1 Auto Care Alexandria on Richmond Hwy!
