August 2022

 

August was an exciting month! We had plenty of volunteer groups and activities around the warehouse and boutique. We were able to serve over 700 women and children with clothing throughout this month!

 

Thank you to our group volunteers for volunteering with WGB in the month of July! 

  • Capital Community Church
  • M&T Bank
  • Apple Federal Credit Union
  • Blacks in Government
  • Outrageous Faith Ministries
  • JCrew
  • Gamestop

Are you interested in becoming a volunteer at WGB? We have a ton of volunteer shifts available here.

 

A HUGE thank you to Gamestop for helping WGB with a clothing sort and by assembling two large shelving units for our storage area! We are so thankful for your hard work!

 

Every year we work closely with Fairfax, Loudoun and Prince William County school districts and social service agency partners to ensure their children have access to the items they need most, empowering them to thrive in and out of the classroom. We would like to thank all our community members and businesses who supported our recent Back to School Supply Drive to ease the burden off families who are struggling. This was our most successful back to school drive yet, and with the overwhelming community support this year, we were able to equip 758 students in need.

 

Thank you to our Back to School Sponsors & Partners!

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Since January 2022, we've seen a 35% increase in diaper need. Paired with the rise in costs for diapers and the formula shortage, we are seeing a drastic need in our community. We could use your help replenishing our pantry's size 5 and 6 diapers and wipes.
