The Portable Toilet Project:


WCCCA is seeking tax-deductible contributions to continue this project. Improving sanitation for families and the community is a key to healthy life and a healthy environment. Previous donations have been used to provide portable jons and supplies to families that do not have indoor plumbing -- but the funds have been exhausted. The last portable toilet that WCCCA had provided was removed early in May.

The legalities of this situation has been discussed with two attorneys. Families will be advised as to the County's regulations.

The need is there! One example: A mother living in the community whose house lacks indoor plumbing recently was admitted to the hospital suffering from impacted, inflamed and twisted bowels, for which surgery was required. She does not have health insurance. She expressed concern that her children and others in the community who live without indoor plumbing could experience a similar medical emergency.

WCCCA's immediate need is to raise $1,500 in donations to pay for 4 outhouses. Any additional funds collected will be used for hand cleaners, toilet paper and other sanitation supplies.

Please help us to help your neighbors who face such a vital, basic need. Please send contributions, payable to WCCCA, on the check made a notation to specify the Portable Toilet Project. For more information please contact

Transportation Projects:

The WCCCA van is vital to our mission and purpose: " to provide services to the Western Charles County, Maryland, communities that will enhance the quality of life for all residents." The Van has been used to take children who have missed the school bus to school, to the doctors' office, in picking up and delivering general releif items and providing transportation home to those who had been left without transportation because of problems experienced with the public transportation system.

Due to the rutted, unpaved back roads and lack of adequate transportation in western Charles County, the WCCCA van is well used. So that this necessity is at a minimum cost to WCCCA we are seeking donated funds of $272.80 which will cover the insurance until January 20, 2008.

Any additional funds will be put toward gas funds for the van.

DEADLINE: Insurance payment due September 20, 2007.

Pre Steps to 1st world Project (Portable toilets)

WCCCA is seeking donations totaling $1600.00 ($400.00 per family). Sonny of Sonny’s Portable Jons has agreed to provide (at a discounted price) four portable toilets. The toilets will be delivered to four needy Nanjemoy families where they will remain for six months. The toilets will be pumped weekly. In addition to the outdoor toilets we are seeking four portable commodes (can be found at Sports Authority, flush with chemicals approximately $80.00, Coleman is a popular brand)

An approximate needs & wants list for August 26, 2006.

This clean up will begin at the bottom of Gethsemane Hall Pl. (which is directly across from Tayloe Neck Rd. off of Port Tobacco Rd.) picking up on both sides of Gethsemane Hall Place, continuing approximately 700 Feet to the top of the Hill. The clean up will extend to IShine Place with approximately the same depth. (On August 26, 2006 the clean up will not include the excessive amounts of trash that extends beyond the boundaries mentioned.) Residents of this area have several trailer frames to dispose of; approximately 2- 4 boats and 1 or more sheds they would like to have torn down and dispose of.

33 (40-Cubic-Yard Dumpsters are required for this job)
WCCCA is offering three letters from Charles County Commissioners. These letters will allow the refuge company to dump three loads of trash in Charles County’s landfill without a fee. S&F refuge will charge $250.00 each for the three dumpsters providing they have WCCCA’s dumping fee letters.

Front-end loader

Torch (to cut disposed of trailer frames
into parts for removal from premises)

Metal Barrels – Try contacting Warring Barrels. In previous years barrels have sold for $5.00 each. (The barrels would be left at the residence to allow for burning of household trash when the ban for burning is lifted in September 2006. A special exception is required to allow burning at this time.)

What’s to be done with the containers once they are full? How will the residents dispose of cans and bottles?
