Today we donated over 50 gifts to Toy Lift Charlottesville. These gifts will go directly to families in need in the Charlottesville area. Thank you to all of our CCWEP members that donated these gifts last night at our holiday party. I am sure it will mean so much to these families. Happy holidays!

In the spirit of helping others, the CCWEP is hosting a Toy Donation Drive at our holiday party this Thursday at Veritas Vineyards and Winery, to support local families in need.

How You Can Help: Please bring a new children's toy or book (unwrapped, and no used items, please!) to help make the holidays brighter for children in our local community. The toys you donate will go directly to families in need in Albemarle, Buckingham, Charlottesville, Fluvanna, and Nelson through the Toy Lift event.

Why It Matters: All of the toys collected will stay local, helping families in our very own community. The toys will be distributed to children who may not otherwise receive gifts this holiday season.

Raffle Alert! 🎉

As a thank you for your generosity, anyone who brings a donation will be entered into our Holiday Party Raffle for a chance to win a special prize! 🎁

Donation Drop-off:

Please bring your toy or book to the holiday party, and Lisa will personally deliver all donations to the Toy Lift the following day.

Let’s come together to make this holiday season unforgettable for those who need it most. We can’t wait to celebrate with you and spread some holiday cheer!

What a fun and casual evening we had at King Family Vineyards, winding down with a glass of wine and some pizza. Loved seeing the kids and dogs enjoying this evening as well. Thank you Brian Schornberg Film for videoing this event!

We had a wonderful time connecting with our CCWEP members over a lovely luncheon catered by The Local at The Market at Grelen. Festive Rentals provided the most beautiful linens, tabelscapes and lounge set and the florals by A. Morgan Event Floral Design were gorgeous. It was a beautiful fall day to explore this lovely wedding venue, their grounds and shop at their market store.
