Review for Assistance League of Northern Virginia, Herndon, VA, USA
I have been a member of the ALNV since 2016 and I am so proud of the work that we do to help underprivileged students in our communities. We provide clothes, shoes, toiletries, books and our Weekend Food for Kids (WFFK) program. WFFK provides over 1,600 food packages monthly to students so they have food on the weekends. In the summer, we provide grocery gift cards to the schools so that the Counselors can distribute these to their students. We are a small but mighty group of volunteers and we are always looking to expand our membership.
Review for Assistance League of Northern Virginia, Herndon, VA, USA
I have been a member of the Assistance League of Northern VA for almost 5 years and have been so impressed by the dedication, caring and generosity of our members. The ALNV has touched and bettered so many lives of elementary students by providing food, clothing, shoes, books, tutoring but also compassion and love. The looks on the children’s faces is priceless.
I am also happy to be associated with an organization that has been able to continue impacting our schools by thinking outside the box during the Covid pandemic. We have adjusted our WFFK (weekend food for kids) program by providing GIANT gift cards in lieu of the weekend food packages that we are unable to provide while the schools are closed. We are also providing books and toiletries to families. We are anxious to provide much needed clothing and shoes as soon as the schools allow us.
