Behind the scenes in the weeks leading up to the event, the generous communities at Grace Covenant Church and Foster the Family DC purchased goodies and gathered to put together over 100 Family Movie Night themed gift baskets – enough for each foster family to receive one! Several FCA staff helped with the on-site packing party. Each basket included popcorn, candy, fruit snacks, gift cards for pizza, ice cream, and movie rentals.
Families who arrived at the church on Saturday were greeted by a team of enthusiastic volunteers waving signs and cheering them on. Each family remained in their cars to receive the emotional support along with the fun gifts. It was great fun to see families face to face and show just how much you are loved.
We greatly appreciate all that you do for the children in your care. If you weren’t able to come out in person on the day of the event arrangements will be made to make sure that everyone who wants a basket can claim it.
