Walk the Walk Foundation aids 1,200 children in three states
Harriett Petrocelli recalls visiting Maple View Church of Christ's Christmas distribution three years ago. The Walk the Walk Foundation serves 1,200 children across Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia. Kim and David began in a garage and now rent a warehouse three times larger than the fellowship hall. Families receive a disposable camera, an age appropriate book, and a Bible. Petrocelli noted loading the truck took about 90 minutes, while Maple View volunteers unloaded in under 20 minutes as the distribution began around 9:30 a.m. Contact Bill Archer at
