LCAC Back to School
Back to School is often a challenging time for our families and this year is no exception.
Many of our families have experienced a deeper financial impact as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and need your help!
In consultation with Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS), LCAC will be working directly with the county and a local vendor to purchase pre-packaged, sanitized school supply kits for our families. These $10.00 kits are designed with everything a student will need for schooling at home and will help our students adapt to their new normal this school year.
To date, LCAC has 156 children and teens registered for Back2School.
