The Scholarship Fund of Alexandria has delivered more than $8 million in scholarships to over 3,400 students. The past year alone the Fund helped more than 300 students-- which is more than my entire graduating class (125-- whoop whoop, Chatham!).

What is Community Lodgings?

Its a local nonprofit that has been helping the community since 1987. Community Lodgings has grown to provide housing for many families that were either homeless or qualified through low-incomes. 

What is Hopkins House?

Hopkins House is an early childhood organization that has been serving Alexandria's children and families in need for nearly nine decades. Its need originated from the disappearing of social safety nets in the 1930s-- most importantly the disappearing of nurserys and learning centers for poor children. The first nursery of the newly established organization was in its founders homes.
