Grant Award from the Rotary Club of Dunn Loring-Merrifield

Grant will support Assistance League of Northern Virginia's Weekend Food for Kids Program

Assistance League of Northern Virginia (ALNV) extends heartfelt thanks to the Rotary Club of Dunn Loring-Merrifield for its generous grant award in the amount of $7,000 from the Rotary Advised Funds. The funds will support the primary Operation School Bell® program, Weekend Food for Kids. This critical program provides 1,810 bags of food monthly during the school year to children who are food insecure in six Title I elementary schools in Northern Virginia. The Dunn Loring-Merrifield Rotary has been a strong supporter of the non-profit’s programs at local elementary schools since 2013. ALNV is privileged to receive financial and volunteer support from this service organization that advances goodwill and peace throughout the world.

This year, the Rotary Club of Dunn Loring-Merrifield is supporting 19 additional service projects in our community, from providing college scholarships to students and helping teens in crisis to fighting homelessness.
