April is the Month of the Military Child (MOMC), a time to honor and celebrate the resilience, courage, and contributions of Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) military-connected youth.
In that spirit, our MOMC service project will support military-connected students with a deployed parent or guardian by donating items to build deployment support kits.
Please make a donation for our children with a deployed parent.
These kits will offer comfort and resources to help these military-connected youth navigate the challenges of separation and keep them connected to their loved ones.
Drop off any donations to your school from April 1 through April 30, 2025.
Your contribution can make a meaningful difference in a child’s life during this difficult time.
Possible donations
- Tote bag to hold items
- Pens/pencils
- Letter writing materials (cards, paper, envelopes, forever stamps)
- Coloring books, markers, or crayons
- New stuffed animal Blanket
- Matching picture frames Journal
- Craft supplies for welcome home decorations
- Gift cards for a special treat
- Yellow ribbon to signify a deployed service member
- Friendship bracelets for children and deployed parent
