Hello NOVA!
As part of NOVA’s 50th Anniversary, and our campus theme of Come Home to Serve…..we are having a packing party for Comfort Cases and you are invited!
Thousands of children in Northern Virginia enter the foster care system each year. Most carry little more than the clothes on their backs. Comfort Cases is on a mission to provide essentials to help these brave children on their journey to find a home. As part of our 50th Anniversary celebration: Come Home to Serve, Comfort Cases would like to request your participation in a Packing Party on May 6th from 10 AM – 12 PM at the Alexandria Campus Schlesinger Center. Volunteers will assist organizing donated items and preparing cases for distribution.
If you can’t make it to the Packing Party, you can still participate! We are also collecting items to go inside the comfort cases from 4/11 – 5/6/16.
Items can be dropped off at TILT (Bisdorf Building | AA-343). Additional sites on campus will be announced soon.
Here’s a list of the items needed:
Items for children over 10 years old would be especially appreciated.

Thanks so much for your support in this endeavor!
