2022 Holiday Giving
Christmas Giving
On December 21st the Foundation continued our Christmas tradition of adopting several families in the local community who were in need of gifts for their children and dinner on their tables. Families were given a Christmas meal, presents for their children, and a large bin full of groceries for the holiday break.
Food Drive
For the 3rd year in a row, we collected canned foods at the Safeway in Damascus in early November, allowing us to fill many bins in our holiday giving programs. A special thank you to Ed Tippett for making this possible.
MCPS Coat Drive
As winter approached, we decided to support a Montgomery County Public Schools program to donate 100 coats to help keep elementary school students in need warm this winter.
Thanksgiving Meals
On November 22, 2022, we continued our Thanksgiving Giving Program. We adopted several local families that were given an amazing Thanksgiving meal along with all the fixings and a bin full of staples to fill the families’ pantries for the long holiday weekend.
The EVAN Foundation
We partnered with the 18U Crush/CHS Softball Team for a December toy drive by donating $1,000. The girls collected and shopped for toys benefiting kids undergoing cancer treatments at 3 local Children’s National Hospital Oncology Unit locations. On Dec. 21st, the Evan Foundation filled multiple “treats and treasures” carts and wheeled them out to cancer patients. Over 150 toys and candy treats were collected and distributed through this partnership.
