Press release from Fairfax County Public Schools: June 14, 2022 In an effort to ensure that every child in the school district is prepared for school, Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) and Educate Fairfax are once again leading the Collect for Kids effort, a consortium of not-for-profit, for-profit, and government entities providing school supplies to benefit FCPS students who otherwise might go without them. Over 56,000 (31%) FCPS students qualify for free or reduced-price meals and struggle to afford basic necessities. Your donation will help provide the school supplies these students need to be successful at school. This year, building upon the successes of previous virtual campaigns, the Collect for Kids effort is continuing with virtual, online-only donations. Contributions can be made online(link is external) through Educate Fairfax. Donations will be used to purchase bulk school supply kits at highly discounted pricing. For more information, visit the Educate Fairfax website(link is external) or contact Kathy Ryan(link sends email). This press release was produced by Fairfax County Public Schools.
