Assistance League and Social4Good Members Pack Books for Pre-K Kids
Generous Donation from Social4Good Will Support Children's Programs
With the common bond of supporting our communities, members of Assistance League of Virginia and Social4Good got together recently to assemble packages of books for pre-K students that will be given to schools for summer reading.
Volunteers from both groups met at the home of a Social4Good member and assembled 375 packages, each with three classics in a bag, that will be given to children as part of Assistance League’s summer reading program. It is hoped that with a new book each month, the young readers will develop a love of reading, which is so important for their future success in school and in life.
At this event, attendees learned about the important contributions each nonprofit makes in Northern Virginia. In addition, Social4Good made a very generous donation of $4051 so that Assistance League can continue its Literacy for Kids efforts, especially by buying new books, as well as its other philanthropic programs that are focused on addressing the basic needs of students at the Title 1 schools it serves. It was a delightful evening of meeting new volunteers while doing good work for the community. Assistance League is grateful to have been selected by Social4Good for this project and for the opportunity to partner with an organization that is also making a big difference in our community
