City Of Alexandria: City Of Alexandria Holiday Sharing To Benefit Children, Families And Older Adults In Need

Press release from the City of Alexandria:

Nov 5, 2021 at 10:45 AM

The City of Alexandria invites the public to help make the 2021 holiday season brighter for some of the most vulnerable members of our community, including low-income families, foster children, older adults and residents with disabilities.

Through the Fund for Alexandria’s Child annual Holiday Sharing Program, sponsors purchase gift cards for eligible families and individuals, then the Department of Community and Human Services staff and volunteers distribute the cards. The community’s generosity helps ensure that no Alexandrians are left in need during the holidays.

The Fund for Alexandria’s Child works to enhance the quality of life of the most vulnerable children in our community. The Senior Fund aims to improve the lives of low-income seniors in Alexandria. Contributions to both DCHS programs are tax-deductible.
