Welcome to ALNV

Assistance League® of Northern Virginia

Meeting the basic needs of children in low-income schools we serve

Celebrating 20 Years

We continue to celebrate our 20th Anniversary of community service with a series of monthly wish lists.

This year we are inviting the public to share in celebrating our twentieth year of community service by making contributions from our monthly wish lists. With the arrival of colder weather, this month’s wish list features a variety of long sleeve shirts so the students we serve have appropriate clothing for the season.   Having a new long sleeve shirt not only gives young students the warmth they need for chilly days, but also gives a boost to their self-esteem.

To make sure it gets to the right place in a timely fashion, please remember to select Assistance League of Northern Virginia as the shipping address! Thank you for your invaluable contribution to a child’s education.

Got Sneakers (you’re not using)? Send them our way!

For more than two years, we’ve been collecting new and gently used athletic shoes as a fundraising program in partnership with GotSneakers.com, which compensates nonprofit organizations based on the quality and condition of the sneakers they collect.  Gently worn and new shoes are provided to people who could not otherwise afford quality sneakers.  Shoes that are not suitable for reuse are recycled into paving materials for resurfacing playgrounds and running tracks, and are kept out of landfills.

We encourage businesses and organizations to collect sneakers for us. We have many donation collection points throughout the area, including businesses and individuals.  For more info on the on the types of athletic shoes we can accept and where you can drop off your sneakers, check our Got Sneakers activity page.\
