Extraordinary Donation of School Supplies Provides an Excellent Start to the New School Year


CFNC students will be very well-equipped this school year thanks to the extraordinary donation made by a fellow Alexandria community member, who felt moved by CFNC's mission to help at-risk children succeed.


On August 16, Sara made a surprise visit to CFNC's Birchmere location, delivering 200 pieces each of 25 different school supplies--for a total of nearly 5,000 items! The supplies, including crayons, markers, lined paper, kid-friendly staplers and hole punches, filled the entire lobby and larger items that Sara purchased for CFNC continue to arrive via mail. Sara's generosity is incredible and CFNC is extremely grateful.


Sara's donation could not have come at a better time. Her gift is an enormous help, providing an excellent start to the 2010/11 school year. Her school supplies will be distributed to each of CFNC's classrooms and assist our teachers in fostering the growth and education of their students. We look forward to welcoming Sara back to CFNC soon so that she can witness students enjoying her gifts.

CFNC is always in need of supplies for the classroom and other items that help us to meet the needs of the children and families we serve. To find out what our current needs are please take a look at our Wish List, visit our website at www.cfnc-online.org or contact Anna Berke, Manager of Development, at aberke@cfnc-online.org or (703) 836-0214.
