Assistance League of Northern Virginia is honored to be chosen by two Giant Food Stores as the ‘exceptional local nonprofit organization’ to benefit during October from the sale of the special Bloomin’ 4 Good Bouquets of fresh flowers.  This program is part of Giant’s efforts to give back to the community and reduce food insecurity.  Those efforts echo our fundamental goals.  Each time a shopper purchases the specially designated bouquet at either the Giant Food Store at 10653 Braddock Road, Fairfax, or at 13330 Franklin Farm Road, Herndon, our chapter will receive $1.  Please stop at either the Fairfax or Herndon store any time in October and purchase a Bloomin’ for Good Bouquet.  You’ll not only beautify your home, you’ll help reduce food insecurity.

Since July, three other Giant stores have recognized our common goals and selected our chapter to benefit from this program.  We are very grateful for the continued recognition and support from the Giant Food organization.
