City of Delray Beach, "You Are Not Alone", Church of the Palms Congregational and One Soldier at a Time, Team Up for
4th Annual Project Holiday
The City of Delray Beach and “You Are Not Alone” are working together with Church of the Palms Congregational and One Soldier at a Time to gather and ship donations of needed items to deployed local military members in time for 2009 holiday season. The Fourth Annual Project Holiday begins Tuesday, October 20, 2009 and ends November 20, 2009.
“You Are Not Alone” (YANA) is a local group, sponsored by the City of Delray Beach, dedicated to supporting family members and friends of our military service men and women. YANA meets the 4th Thursday of every month at approximately 6:00 pm at the Community Center, where they join together to discuss news, share stories, and offer emotional support and encouragement. Anyone who has a loved one serving in the military is welcome and encouraged to attend. Church of the Palms is a local non-profit corporation church, who has supported You Are Not Alone for four years. This year they have committed to once again help send care packages to our local troops overseas. For the first time this year, One Soldier at a Time, a 501(c3) non-profit organization has joined us in our continued efforts with our mission.
