St. Stephen's Episcopal Church Oktoberfest Celebration Car Show
Newport News, VASaturday, October 6, 2012
From St. Stephen's website...
Our big annual celebration of fun and food for charity was this weekend! Through the money we earn during Oktoberfest, we are able to help our community; as in past years, the recipient of our earnings is LINK. Living Interfaith Network ( LINK ) is a nonprofit coalition of faith communities to help the needy through outreach programs, food, counseling, education, and advocacy. It was founded in 1990 in Newport News to break the cycle of poverty by helping people help themselves. LINK is one of our special charitable recipients; in each of the years 2010 and 2011, from the net earnings of our annual Oktoberfest, we were able to donate $5,000 to LINK. During the winter months, LINK operates a shelter program known as PORT. Each year St. Stephen?s takes a turn providing meals, shelter, and a compassionate spirit.
