As members of the Assistance Center of Towson Churches, we agree to help
provide Thanksgiving baskets to less fortunate families in the area. Each family
receives a food basket and a certificate to purchase perishables. Thisyear
Loch Raven will be collecting money to purchase the certificates. Last year 2,800
families in Baltimore City and County received baskets. 
As always, thanks for your generosity.
