forward to the day when we can resume providing the essential food bags to students. \u00a0Until then, we hope to continue providing grocery gift cards to our students and their families.<\/p>\n<p><a

setting up food items for our assembly lines, was a huge help in getting WFFK bags quickly on the trucks, and was responsible for making the deliveries to our WFFK Manassas school students.\u00a0 He kept toys in his truck to give to any student who was lucky enough to meet him during a food delivery.<\/p>\n<p>Assistance League is truly thankful to have so many dedicated volunteers and supporters.\u00a0 Without them, we could not maintain this essential program.<\/p>\n<p><a
