Join the Center for Coalfield Justice and Washington County United for our Ho-Ho-Holiday Party on December 11th from 6 PM to 8 PM at our new office on 14 E Beau St, Washington, PA 15301. We look forward to having a jolly good time with our supporters and allies!
The staff are making their best dishes to share, and we encourage you to bring your favorite holiday dish to share with our community. Don’t forget to wear your ugliest sweater for the chance to win a rockin’ prize. If you’re still not sure, feel like a kid again (and bring your kids to the party, too!) at our sugar cooking decorating table!
