Volunteers Pack Food for Local Elementary Students

A devoted team gathered again recently to pack 1720 bags of shelf-stable food to ensure that students at six Title 1 schools in Fairfax and Prince William Counties don’t go hungry on weekends. With nearly 70 volunteers from Assistance League of Northern Virginia, Dominion Energy, and the community, the group was able to pack the much-needed food bags in about an hour, after which the bags were loaded into trucks and delivered to the schools. Among the community volunteers who helped with Assistance League’s Weekend Food for Kids program were friends from its long-time supporter, RBH Global Wealth Management, and a team of four first-timers from the Dulles Regional Chamber of Commerce. The nonprofit is grateful for their support.

All who participate in these joyous events are united in their dedication to this important program.

Those feelings are evident in the video that NBC4 Washington recently aired about the February food packing. Assistance League thanks NBC4 for its recognition of the nonprofit’s efforts to provide critical help to students in need.
