ALIVE! Update

(05/06/21)

Fundraising Update
ALIVE! came within a whisper of raising $100,000 in this year’s Alexandria Spring2ACTion citywide charity event, ranking 4th in amount received. Two other organizations AAC supports also did well: Casa Chirilagua ranked 2nd in total funds raised and Carpenter’s Shelter ranked 5th. Thank you to congregants who donated to any or all of these important building blocks to a stronger community.

With its Housewares program up and running again, ALIVE! is looking for a volunteer to help organize intake and set up deliveries—an ongoing role. If you’re that person, contact Liza Feiller at ALIVE!
   Donations are on hold for the time being. Watch this space for the next collection date (TBD).
 
CARpet needed
ALIVE! is looking for a donation or discount on enough carpet to cover three office spaces at its headquarters... and someone who can install it. Contact Jennifer Ayers with information.
