This month's event will feature a special collection for the Rockville Women's Center. Please visit the Mission DMV webpage to see a list of requested donations.
We invite the Fourth Church neighborhood and community to a monthly collection of food, clothing, and household items. Donations go to Fourth's ministry partners serving those in need locally and in the greater DMV.
- Mark your contributions “Collection” or “Food” and place them in the trunk of your vehicle.
- Please do not donate any items in glass containers.
- Drive to the Upper Portico's covered entrance on the Ridgefield Road side of Fourth Church.
- Use the outer lane and remain in your car. You will see tables set up for sorting donated items.
