Are you looking for ways to help Assistance League of Northern Virginia and make a difference in your community? Here are some easy suggestions for ongoing help and one-time only events:

Purchase a Donation grocery tote bag from Giant Foods and within 7 days, register that purchase with Giant using the website provided on the tag, select Assistance League of Northern Virginia as the recipient, and the charity will receive $1. Starting January 1, 2022, Fairfax County will impose a tax on disposable plastic grocery bags, so purchasing your grocery tote bags now makes sense and will help nonprofits at a time when community needs are high but donations have not kept pace.

Whenever you make an on-line purchase from Amazon, use the Amazon Smile website (Smile.Amazon.com) and select Assistance League of Northern Virginia as your charity. The nonprofit will receive a small percentage of the amount of your purchase, with no additional cost to you. This feature is available year-round, but purchases must be made on the Smile.Amazon.com site.
