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

Celebrating Community

Our 20^th Anniversary may be over, but our mission to help our community is still going strong. We invite the public to share in helping and celebrating our community by making contributions from our monthly wish lists.

As the New Year starts, we invite you to make a contribution from this month’s New Year! New Undies! wish list. We have a variety of colorful multi-pair underwear packages for boys and girls in all sizes. Check out our January Wishlist to make your selection and help the schools replenish their supply of this important necessity.

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.
