Winter Wonderland Holiday Fair

HELPING NEIGHBORS, SHARING LOVE Our Fair has a purpose! Funds raised will support the local, hands-on, face-to-face ministry called LAUNDRY LOVE. This significant, practical project is organized and led by Karen DeCristofaro, representing the Mission Ministry. Once a month, volunteers from QPCC are on hand at the local Wash N Dry to cover the cost of laundry machines and detergent. Twenty to thirty people usually participate each month. The cost is about $300+ each session. Our goal is to generate sufficient funds at the fair to cover the costs of LAUNDRY LOVE for a year. EVERYONE DESERVES THE DIGNITY OF CLEAN CLOTHES! Featuring: FAVORITE FAIR TABLES AND ITEMS RETURN TO THE FAIR Yes, you’ll be able to find Carole’s Cards and those popular Catnip Pillows plus “Grab and Go” gifts.

MAKING MEALS, SHARING STORIES A Narrative Cookbook from Quincy Point We are hopeful our new cookbook will be ready and available for sale at the Winter Woodland Holiday Fair. Besides recipes the book offers personal remembrances and historical reflections about the shipbuilding legacy of “The Point.” Hosting a Game Day Gathering this weekend?
