Ripples of Kindness

School Counselor Share Importance of Assistance League Programs

As volunteers for a small nonprofit organization, the dedicated members of Assistance League of Northern Virginia know that they make a significant difference in the lives of the students and families they serve through their philanthropic programs. At the nonprofit’s Italian Night Fundraiser, a counselor at a local school delivered a moving testimonial that illustrates how providing food, clothing, sneakers, books, and toiletries brings hope and dignity to the most vulnerable of our neighbors. She shared how a single item – like a pair of sneakers or a winter coat – can have a profound impact on someone’s life. After watching the video, perhaps you will be motivated to join Assistance League of Northern Virginia, to make a donation to support its programs, or to volunteer with a cause you care about. The ripple effects will be immeasurable. Here’s the link: ALNV Fundraiser Maggie Perez Rives HD 2026 1 9
