In addition to all the great things we enjoy during this holiday season, you’re invited to join us at Washington Heights Church as we unleash a wave of generosity in our community and around the world. Every dollar given and every hour served will help communicate love, value and dignity to each person served. Here’s how it works:
FINANCIAL SUPPORT
Each Sunday, from now until Christmas there will be special envelopes available in The Hub and Auditorium for financial donations that will go entirely to the projects being funded this year. You can also donate online at whc.faith. The goal for LOVE GIVES 2022 is $135,000.
