Northern Virginia Family Services (NVFS), a nonprofit organization, is asking the community to help ensure its 2024 Back2School Drive provides 1400+ students across the region with new backpacks filled with the school supplies they need before they return to classrooms in August.
You can assist in three ways. Make an online donation. Visit nvfs.org/back-to-school. Buy school supplies July 2-22 from the Amazon Wish list [https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2XQGK9TE6PPT7/ref=hz_ls_biz_ex]. Amazon will deliver the selected items to the NVFS office. Alternatively, you can drop off supplies at 12955 Fair Lakes Parkway, Fairfax (near Starbucks), on Wednesday, July 24, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and on Thursday, July 25, from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m.
For questions or a donation receipt, email lhurst@nvfs.org.
