Once again, Assistance League of Northern Virginia is grateful that a Giant Food store has selected it as the beneficiary of its Community Bag Promotion. Throughout November, the nonprofit will receive $1 for every special tote bag purchased at the Giant Store at 7501 Huntsman Blvd., Springfield. Over the past year, many Giant Stores have selected the organization to benefit from their Community Bag and the Bloomin’ 4 Good campaigns. Both Assistance League and Giant are committed to reducing food insecurity in our community. Through Assistance League’s Weekend Food for Kids program, each month during the school year it provides 1720 bags of nonperishable food to students at Title 1 elementary schools so they have nourishment over the weekend. We also provide grocery gift cards for families.
Assistance League is an all-volunteer organization that does not receive any federal, state, or local funds. The nonprofit is grateful for the continued recognition and financial support from Giant Food.
