Thanks to you!
The Foundation's"Access for All" fund has raised over $350,000 to date. Thanks to you, the Foundation has:
- assisted FCPS in purchasing and delivering 35,000 school supply kits directly to students who qualify for free and reduced meals
- purchased mobile wifi connections so students can access the internet and participate in virtual classroom activities
- provided over $8,000 in grocery gift cards for homeless or unaccompanied youth
- provided over 5,000 free adult meals during April and May at the FCPS Grab & Go sites.
- assisted local food banks with funds to purchase food to be distributed to FCPS families
Your response to "Access for All" has been heart-warming and gratifying. Thank you. The need is on-going and your continued support is much appreciated.
Funds raised at the Foundation will help to provide ACCESS for the nearly 60,000 students who live in poverty. These students need access to technology, school supplies, and connectivity, as well as nutrition.
Thank you.
FCPS and Food and Nutrition Services are providing "Grab and Go" meals at many sites and through bus route distribution. A listing of all food resources, including non-profit organizations that provide food assistance, in every area of the county are listed on the FCPS website.
Donor Corner
Ferrovial donated over $67,000 to the Foundation's Access for All fund to support at-risk youth with nutrition and technology assistance while school buildings are closed during the pandemic. It’s one of eight donations that Ferrovial has made in the last two weeks to communities across North America where it has active construction projects as part of the Ferrovial Together COVID-19 initiative. FAM Construction, LLC and I-66 Express Mobility Partners are building the "Transform 66 Outside the Beltway Project" in Northern Virginia.
We even did a virtual check presentation! We are so appreciative of the way our business community continues to be dedicated to FCPS and its students during this time. Read the full story here.
THANK YOU!!
