As the children served by FACETS’ programs return to school, they need your help! This crisis has highlighted the equity gaps in our community. Our most vulnerable and marginalized neighbors – those experiencing homelessness, low-immigrants and refugees, the unemployed and low-wage workers – are facing great economic challenges and uncertainty.
Together, we can help ease the financial back-to-school burden faced by our families and provide the children we serve with the supplies they need to create stronger futures.
Our goals is to provide 400 K-12 students in Fairfax County with backpacks filled with new school supplies but we need your help
How can you participate in our 2021 Back to School Drive?
