Back to School is an exciting time in the life of a child and their parents! However, many low-income families in Southeast Fairfax County worry about purchasing school supplies.

We were able to provide over 300 LCAC children with necessary school supplies for this back to school season! Thank you to all of the donors who provided school supplies and all of the volunteers who sorted and packed supplies for client distribution.

Also, a big shout out to Michael Willis of Atlantic Barbecue for donating over 200 sandwiches to children at the event!
