Honoring the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Through our Weekend of Service

The MLK, Jr. Volunteer Guidebook

Making its debut this year was the first-ever MLK, Jr. Volunteer Guidebook which was available in hard-copy or digital download to those who registered to participate in Give Together   This outstanding publication outlines actionable service project ideas to engage families.  Parents and educators can select projects based on key mission areas including food insecurity, social justice, elder care, and homelessness.   The MLK Jr. Volunteer Guidebook also included “Step-Up” Challenges geared towards helping teens make simple service ideas actionable with their peers and within their communities.

Valentine's Challenge exceeds goals!

This year, the Valentines’ Day Challenge expanded its mission beyond supporting youth aging out of the foster care system and challenged the community to share the love with frontline healthcare workers. Based on the overwhelming response for supply kits, we expect our volunteers to have hand-crafted more than 10,000 valentine cards that will be distributed to the following organizations: Foster Care to Success, Fairfax County Foster Care System, Adoption and Kinship Children, Children’s National Medical Center, INOVA Hospital System, Walter Reed Medical Center and Wounded Warriors.
