Assembling Power Packs

Thanks to all the NDWC volunteers who provided supplies and packaged the Power Packs for Food for Others in Fairfax County at the May 20 Membership Meeting.

Food for Others is an important part of Northern Virginia’s safety net for those needing food when an emergency strikes, and for the growing number of working poor who are unable to make ends meet and need to supplement their inadequate food supplies.

We're going to help by making 200 Power Packs. Power Packs are distributed through 29 Fairfax County elementary schools for 1400 school-aged children every week to eat over the weekend. For more details on the program, click here. 

Muse Paintbar Fundraiser
Thanks to everyone who participated in the Muse Paintbar fundraiser on Sunday, April 28.

​We raised $400 and had lots of fun. There are some NDWC members who clearly have artistic talent.
