School Counselors Note That Local Students Need Toiletries

Over the past few months, counselors at several of the elementary schools that Assistance League of Northern Virginia serves have requested toiletries for their students. So far, the charity has been able to provide them the basics: soap, shampoo, deodorant, tooth brush & toothpaste. But Assistance League needs your help to ensure that it reaches the growing number of students who lack these essential hygiene products.

The increasing financial strains that families now face have forced parents to make difficult decisions about how to spend their limited resources. In some households, children have to share a toothbrush with other family members, while other students, including some in fourth and fifth grade, have never owned a toothbrush and need instruction on how to use them.

Please help ensure that more children in our community have the basic necessities that most of us take for granted, and use this link to donate items for Assistance League’s our toiletries campaign, and any of its other campaigns. ALNV-RightGIftToiletries
