Backyard Fun Fest for Koinonia

Franconia United Methodist Church, 6037 Franconia Rd, Alexandria, invites you to our Second Annual Community Family Fun Fest on June 4 (rain date June 11), 10 am - 2 pm.  This is a fundraising event to benefit the Koinonia Foundation located behind us. 

The Koinonia Foundation, Inc. (http://koinoniacares.org) is a 501 (c)(3) Christian non-profit human services organization providing short-term emergency assistance and self-sufficiency services to the individuals and families of the Greater Kingstowne/Franconia area.  They provide emergency assistance with food, clothing and a financial safety net.  They encourage self-sufficiency by offering counseling and education to break the cycle of poverty.  

We'll have many family friendly activities including Moon Bounce, face painting, children's games, food, vendor/craft sales, live music, and much more!  Donations of funds and canned or dried foods are accepted.
