FCA Sponsors MLK Day of Service at Abingdon Elementary
FCA is partnering with the Abingdon Elementary School PTA to mark the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday with a day of service in support of nonprofits that help local residents in need.
The work will begin at 10 a.m. on January 20 in the school cafeteria and be completed by noon. Participants are encouraged to show up at the school at 9:45 a.m. All the activity will be conducted indoors.
Volunteers and donation materials are needed to complete projects to benefit two local non-profits that serve some of our neediest community members: PathForward, Arlington’s homeless services organization, and Doorways, Arlington’s domestic violence shelter. Our goal is to complete three projects:
- Assemble 200 Winter Safety/Hygiene Kits for PathForward to distribute to the homeless
- Prepare 20 No-Sew Blankets for PathForward to distribute to the homeless
- Assemble 40 Welcome Home Kits for Doorways clients transitioning from the domestic violence shelter to independent housing
Sign up to donate here, then:
- Bring to Abingdon Elementary on Monday, January 20, at 9:45 AM
- Drop off ahead of time at 4259 35th St S, Arlington
- Ship directly to Abingdon PTA, c/o James Harlow, 4259 35th St S, Arlington VA 22206
Questions? Email James Harlow, PTA President, president at abingdonpta.org.
All members of the Fairlington community—not just those who have children enrolled at Abingdon—are invited to join the activity that day.
