Volunteers Needed - Phoenix Rising Meal Program at Franconia United Methodist Church

Franconia United Methodist Church, 6037 Franconia Rd, Alexandria, is part of a group of churches that serves a nutritious bagged meal to homeless people living in the woods, their vehicles, and in motels along the Route One corridor between North Kings Highway and the Fairfax County Parkway in Alexandria.  All ages can help prepare and assemble the bag lunches and assist in delivery.  We deliver the meals the fourth Friday of the month at 5:30 pm, and we prepare the meals on the day before (Thursdays) at 6:30 pm.  Contact us at 703 971-5151 or admin@franconiaumc.org.  Website:  http://www.franconiaumc.org.  We're at the corner of Beulah and Franconia, next to Franconia Elementary School, on Fairfax Connector buses 231, 232, and 310.
