Members of the Washington, D.C., Chapter of the Claremont McKenna College Alumni Association are invited to participate in its Alumni Volunteer Day at 9 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 8, benefiting Bread for the City, a D.C.-based nonprofit providing more than 13,000 low-income families with a holiday meal.
Donations of canned goods and/or cash for this cause will be accepted at the alumni chapter's Cure for the Common Holiday Party from 6 to 8 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 7 at the CMC Washington, D.C., Internship Program offices. Although canned items are preferred, a contribution of $26 allows Bread for the City to provide a complete turkey meal for a family of four.
Alumni participants on Saturday will gather at Bread for the City (located at 1640 Good Hope Road SE) to volunteer as needed.
