Assistance League^® of Northern Virginia

Meeting the basic needs of children in low-income schools we serve

Celebrating Community

Our 20^th Anniversary may be over, but our mission to help our community is still going strong. We invite the public to share in helping and celebrating our community by making contributions from our monthly wish lists.

Anyone with children knows how quickly they outgrow their clothes. But most people in an affluent area like Northern Virginia don’t realize how difficult it is for lower-income families to provide new clothes for their children as seasons change. That’s why, this March, we’re asking you to visit https://tiny.alnv.org/wish-short-sleeves and select a shirt or two to help clothe a child in your community.

To make sure it gets to the right place in a timely fashion, please remember to select Assistance League of Northern Virginia as the shipping address! Thank you for your invaluable contribution to a child’s education.

We’re only able to do what we do because of the generous support of our community. If you’d like to help us make an impact, donate today!
