As some of you may remember, I just finished raising money for St. John's Hospice in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  They had a very successful pizza party for the homeless in June.  Currently, I am trying to fundraise for West London Churches Homeless Concern (WLCHC).  They are a wonderful charity located in London, England.  In addition to many other services, WLCHC offers shelter and food for up to 70 homeless guests a night.  I would like to sponsor a party for them in January.  Charities often receive a lot of money and gifts during the Christmas season.  But some of this support tends to be lacking in January and the winter months, a sad time of the year for many homeless guests who are in great need of smiles as well as services.  So I am asking you to join me in putting some smiles on some faces!  The party will help homeless guests, staff, and volunteers feel special and appreciated. 

(Update:  See Offline Total Breakdown at bottom of this message, includes cost of items that will be sent to WLCHC for the actual party)
