School Supply Donation Drive

School Supply Drive -- Now through August 29

Community Partners for Children, a  community-based nonprofit organization that works to better the lives of needy children in Alexandria, will be collecting school supplies and backpacks for over 5,000 children attending Alexandria City public schools.

The school supplies that are generously donated by individuals, organizations and businesses, are given to school social workers who then distribute them to eligible and needy students at the beginning of the school year.

There are collection sites and boxes throughout the city, including public libraries and recreation centers.
