An Important But Overlooked Item To Start the New Year

New Year! New Undies! Wish List

Assistance League of Northern Virginia is an all-volunteer organization that partners with several Title 1 elementary schools across the region. These schools have a high percentage of low-income students whose families have a difficult time providing basic necessities. Assistance League helps fulfill basic needs by providing food and clothing. A series of monthly wish lists helps Assistance League expand the scope of what can be provided. The January Wish List focuses on new underwear, a basic clothing item that is greatly needed and frequently requested by the schools the organization serves.

As the New Year starts the community is invited to make a contribution from this month’s New Year! New Undies! wish list. There is a variety of colorful multi-pair underwear packages for boys and girls in all sizes. Use this link: https://tiny.alnv.org/undies or scan the QR code on the flyer to make your selection and help the schools replenish their supply of this important necessity that many children need. Please select Assistance League of Northern Virginia as the mailing address to assure timely delivery. If you would prefer not to order through Amazon, you can pay by personal check for these items. Please send your check, made out to ALNV, to P.O. Box 209, Herndon, VA 20172 and include "Wish List/month" in the memo line. (E.g., if you order in January, please write Wish List/January.

Happy New Year and many thanks for your caring support!
