| Give Back Alexandria's Fall into Giving raises $4,000 in Goods and Gifts |
 Thank you all for your support of our 2nd Annual Fall into Giving Holiday Goods Drive on November 19th. We were overwhelmed by all of your wish list donations to SCAN of Northern Virginia and The Reading Connection, valued at over $2,000, an additional $300 in gift cards, and donations of $1,260 through our giving tree! With a matching grant from ACT, we are able to double the amount we can give to our partner organizations. This will make a tremendous impact on their ability to serve their clients this winter. Many of you have asked if there are additional ways to give back this holiday season and we have another opportunity for you. Each year, our local YMCA Alexandria hosts a Christmas Angel Tree and Dinner for local homeless children and their families. Give Back Alexandria is sponsoring a family of 3 children and looks forward to making their Christmas morning a bright one. We invite you to make a donation towards the purchase of gifts for these children and more importantly, in an effort to support their parents during these difficult economic times, we would like to collect gift cards from places such as Target, Giant Food, Shoppers Food Warehouse, and/or Wal-Mart. Any donation would be very helpful and appreciated. Donations can be dropped off or mailed to ACT, 311 Cameron Street, Alexandria, VA 22314. Please make your donations or drop off your gifts by December 14th.
Also, please feel free to stop by the YMCA on Monroe Avenue and choose an angel yourself. For more information, please contact Kathy Martin at
