Gift A Book To Help Kids Drift Off Into Pleasant Dreams

Help Children In Need Develop A Good Bedtime Routine

Assistance League of Northern Virginia has been helping to meet the basic needs of underserved children in our community for two decades. As part of its ongoing 20th anniversary celebration, the nonprofit is focusing this month’s wish list on books to include in the colorful Hugs Bedtime pillows that are distributed to kindergarten students at the low-income schools it serves. These colorful, heart-shaped pillows are packed with a beanie baby, toothbrush and toothpaste, and a book to promote a healthy bedtime routine. Assistance League’s selection of popular books features the adventures of Biscuit the Dog, Pete the Cat, and Clifford the Big Red Dog.

Your contribution can help young children get into the routine of brushing and reading a book before bed. Use this link https://tiny.alnv.org/HugsItems to make your selection or scan the QR code on the flyer. Please select Assistance League of Northern Virginia as the shipping address to ensure prompt delivery.

Assistance League is very grateful for the wonderful community support that its monthly wish lists have received. Share the joy of knowing your gift can help a child in need enjoy a book at bedtime.
