Washingtonian Woods Gives Back
Saturday, December 14th
11:00am – 1:00pm
Washingtonian Woods Clubhouse

We are excited to bring back our annual Washingtonian Woods Gives Back holiday gift giving program. This year we are again partnering with KINDH (Kids In Need During Holidays) and helping to provide children in Montgomery County with a memorable holiday experience.

We will be adopting 10 families whose parents/guardians have submitted wish lists to the KINDH organization. In addition to the famly wish list, we are asking for Giant or Safeway grocery store gift cards to give the family to purchase food for their holiday meal.

Please take a look at the lists below for requested gifts. This year, our families were not as specific for gift requests. There are a lot of children with “Age appropriate toys and books”. Please be creative in selecting their gift(s) and write what you will be purchasing so that others will know.

When you  sign up, please understand that you are committing to purchasing AND wrapping your gifts.  Please include batteries if the gift you’re buying needs them. DO NOT include gift receipts but you can keep the tags on your clothing! Wrapped gift drop off will be on Saturday, December 14th, 2024 from 11:00am – 1:00pm at the Washingtonian Woods clubhouse.  Please be sure to drop your gifts by 1:00pm. We will have volunteers waiting and loading cars to deliver gifts.  If you are unable to drop off during this time, you can bring them to Marcie Blackman’s house before December 12th or you will need to deliver the gifts to the collection site yourself.

We ask that you label your wrapped gift(s) with the child’s FIRST NAME only.  Please do not put your name or family name or family number on the gift tag.  You will need to know the family number associated with the gift when you drop it off. 

Thank you in advance for your support and help in making this a wonderful holiday for these children.

Holiday Cookie Exchange
Tuesday, December 17th
7:30pm – 9:00pm
Washingtonian Woods Clubhouse

The Washingtonian Woods Social Committee is excited to offer a Holiday Cookie Exchange!

If you have never been to one, you are in for a treat, literally!

Depending on the number of participants, each person will bring approximately 5 dozen homemade cookies/bars of your choice. Also, please print the recipe on a sheet of paper so that participants may be able to see the ingredients and be able to copy the recipe, if they would like.

We can have separate tables for those treats that have nuts and ones that do not, if needed. At the end of the night, you are able to take home 2-3 of each goody.

The Social Committee will have some light hor dourves to munch on. Please make sure you bring tupperware or a ziplock bag in order to take home the cookies.

PLEASE RSVP by December 8th at the Sign-up Genius Below:
