Chesterbrook Academy Students Donate to Local Families in Need

Students at Chesterbrook Academy Preschool in Gainesville recently donated more than 200 items to support Northern Virginia Family Service’s (NVFS) SERVE Campus in Prince William County. Students worked together to collect 100 nonperishable food donations to help feed community members, as well as 53 coats, 28 hats and 35 pairs of gloves to keep them warm during the winter months. Through their efforts, students learned the importance of helping others, especially during the holiday season.

NVFS’s SERVE Campus houses a variety of programs that help community members receive the immediate assistance they need, such as food and shelter, and develop the potential for future success, including rapid rehousing, health access and services for children. SERVE has been part of the Greater Prince William Community since 1975 and merged with NVFS in 2009.
