Cecil and Irene Hylton Foundation Awards Grant for Food Program

Assistance League of Northern Virginia is honored to have been selected to receive a grant of $8,640 from The Cecil and Irene Hylton Foundation in support of its Weekend Food for Kids program. Since 2018, the foundation has awarded $15,840 to help reduce childhood hunger in Prince William County. This grant will enable the nonprofit to continue providing weekend food to students enrolled in the program at Loch Lomond Elementary School in Manassas for an entire school year. With the foundation's tremendous support, children who live with food insecurity will have the energy they need to achieve their full potential in school.

The Cecil and Irene Hylton Foundation has a rich history in Prince William County and has supported nonprofits that serve the Woodbridge and surrounding communities since 1989, giving primarily for hospitals, education, human services and to a performing arts center and a boys and girls club.
