Seasonal Drives
As the seasons change, so do our residents’ needs. You and your family, friends, neighbors, or co-workers can provide direct support to APAH families by contributing to our seasonal drives. Start a workplace campaign at your employer for an APAH seasonal drive!
SUMMER — Ready to Learn 2024
ACCEPTING DONATIONS
We need your help! As students and families enjoy summer break, APAH is collecting donations for our Ready to Learn Drive. Purchasing school supplies for the upcoming school year can be a major financial burden for low-income families. The Ready to Learn drive eases this burden and ensures APAH households are #ReadytoLearn.
There are three ways to get involved:
- Donate school supplies by August 1. Email lfeiler@apah.org.
- Volunteer on August 9th and 16th and assist with games, raffles, or hand out school supplies. Email lfeiler@apah.org.
- Make a monetary donation. $50 covers the cost for one student’s backpack and supplies.
School supplies drop-off: 555 North Thomas St., Arlington, VA, 22203 on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 10 AM to 1 PM. Email lfeiler@apah.org.
