Update on our last family.

We secured school supplies, bookbag, and a computer! Still looking for more, though. Let us know if you can help and we will send you their list. This family is in the Richmond, VA area.

If you can help, please email us at info@facesofvirginia.org. If you know of a business owner who is willing to help one of our families, please email us their contact information. Thank you.

Update on resources.

We have secured 200 brand new toys from Mattel in time for the holidays!

A volunteer in Fredericksburg is collecting items for kids at community events for our needs!

We have applied for Payless Shoe coupons for kids. We should hear back toward the end of November. Stay tuned.

We have extended the deadline for our door prize drawing for the iPad. We will draw names tomorrow, so you have one more day to support FACES by donating $25 or more to be entered in the drawing. You can use the button in the headline for making your donation.

Donations help us support families in need through Lean on Me.

Lean on me, when you're not strong

And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
