Christmas dinner for Loudoun homeless

The Loudoun Chapter of the Catholic Business Network of
Northern Virginia provided Christmas dinner for families and
individuals residing at the Loudoun Emergency Homeless
Shelter in Leesburg. With funds raised at their Dec. 19
meeting, CBN purchased the meals from Mama Lucci’s Restaurant
in Leesburg for delivery to the shelter.

“We all are so blessed in the Washington area,” said Shawn
McGowan, CBN Loudoun Chapter chairman and parishioner of St.
John the Apostle Church in Leesburg. “Often we forget there
are those who struggle to make ends meet and have trouble
feeding their families.”

The Loudoun Emergency Homeless Shelter is a 44-bed facility
for single men, women and families operated by Volunteers of America
Chesapeake.

“We are truly thankful for the support of our community and
organizations like CBN,” said shelter Program Director
Elizabeth Hodge. “Partnerships like this help us make
Christmas possible for the families we serve.”
