Churchland Kiwanis Club Helps Homeless
by Stephen Korving

Members of the Churchland Kiwanis Club went to go help one of our own members, Ron Haughton, help feed the homeless on Christmas morning. This has become an annual event for many in our club, but this year was slightly different -- the historic church where the event has been held for many many years caught on fire on Dec 20 and was so badly damaged that it had to be demolished. The congregation of the church and the many volunteers that help to serve were determined to continue the annual tradition in spite of the circumstances, and were able to hold the event in a building that belonged to the church but was across the street from the main structure and was not destroyed by the fire. Here is a related article that ran recently in the Virginian Pilot:
