We need your help in making sure that all children served by FACETS return to school this fall with the essential gear for learning: backpacks and school supplies. Please join us in helping to provide these items to more than 300 children in need. Together we can support them in achieving their academic goals. Through education, we can ensure the cycle of poverty is broken for these bright young students.
To participate in our Back to School Drive:
- Download the list of needed school supplies and purchase or collect as many of these items as you can. Supplies can be dropped off at our main office – 10700 Page Avenue, Building B, Fairfax VA 22030, or our Next Steps Family Program – 8794-O Sacramento Drive, Alexandria VA between now and August 10th, Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM.
- If you don’t have time to purchase supplies, please make a tax-deductible donation to FACETS instead, and we’ll do the shopping for you! You can make a financial donation online (indicate Back to School drive in the Special Instructions field) or send a check to our main office and write “school supplies” in the memo section.
- If you have any questions, or if you’d like help organizing a collection at your workplace, within your faith community, or with another organization, please contact Frank Garvey at 703-272-3710 or FGarvey@FACETSCares.org.
With the support of many generous individuals, businesses, faith communities, and other organizations, FACETS works with our clients to end the cycle of poverty. You can help the children in FACETS’ programs start the school year ready to learn.
On behalf of the children and parents served by FACETS, thank you for your ongoing support!
