We are pleased to report that our chapter delivered another 400 $20 grocery gift cards in January to students and their families at six local elementary schools that had received our monthly distribution of weekend food bags.<\/p>\n

We know this assistance helps some of the most disadvantaged in our community.\u00a0 One mom was so happy to be able to purchase some much-needed food items that she provided a photo of the backseat of her car filled with grocery bags. \u00a0The\u00a0photos showing the\u00a0smiles on the faces of other families that received the cards are heartwarming.<\/p>\n

Since last spring, we\u2019ve donated 4,346 gift cards, valued at $87,280. With help from friends and supporters, we can continue this effort until we resume our Weekend Food for Kids program. \u00a0Please consider donating to our chapter, either by visiting our website, alnv.org<\/a>, and using the \u201cdonate\u2019 button there; or sending a check to:\u00a0 Assistance League of Northern Virginia, P.O. Box 209, Herndon, VA\u00a0\u00a0 20172.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
