The Emerald Hill SCA is again sponsoring the Culpeper County Christmas Basket food drive. We are collecting non-perishable food items as well as checks made out to CCCBP.

Thank you for helping us make the holidays special for all of our neighbors in need!
Our PTO will be selling candy grams now through December 15th. Candy grams are $1 a piece. Please see the flier sent home with more information.
