Pastor Gerald Elston, Jr. and his team of volunteers assisted the Advisory Neighborhood Commission 4D and the Young People of Tomorrow Inc., in providing holiday gifts to nearly 30 families in need. The event was a great success and many families greatly appreciated the community support for them this holiday season. Local larger organizations such as Howard University Hospital were even able to support the event by adopting several families. Commissioner Donna Brockington stated regarding the event "It has been a tremendous experience to aid some of our community's most needy families and that's what we are here to do, help our community." Commissioner Lisa Colbert added "We are looking foward to making this an annual event for ANC 4D, if circumstances permit."
