Hunger is an unwelcome guest during the holiday season. Since 2016, Food For Neighbors has been providing holiday meals to families in middle and high schools throughout Fairfax and Loudoun counties. Can you help make the holidays special for a local family struggling with food insecurity? For every $100 received, FFN can provide two grocery gift cards for families to purchase several nutritious and delicious meals this season. Holiday meals are a special time when families come together. With your generosity, students throughout our community will experience this joy during what has been a difficult year.
