What is GIVE Day?

GIVE Day is a FCEPTA-sponsored initiative to get our PK-5th graders involved in community service. The event is planned and led by our 5th grade GIVE Day Ambassadors who decide on the causes they will support. GIVE Day is a month-long process that culminates on Monday, January 15, 2024 in the Meridian High School auxiliary gym.

How can YOU help?

Donate $$ or become an individual or corporate sponsor. Each Power Pack costs approximately $4, so consider donating a 10-pack for $40! All donations are tax-deductible.

Donate

Volunteer with your family on GIVE Day: Help assemble Power Packs, help check in donors at the at the INOVA Bloodmobile, or one of many other opportunities! Be a part of this amazing day for our community and students!

Spread the word:  Talk to your kids about community service and why it is important. Reach out to community leaders and businesses to see if they would be willing to help. 

Give Blood: Inova Blood Mobile will be on-site for adults and students over the age of 16 who would like to donate blood. You can schedule a time to donate blood here. 

Food Insecurity

On the MLK Day of Service, the 5th grade Ambassadors will organize the assembly of ‘Power Packs’ of food for elementary school children in our region who may not have enough food to eat on weekends via Food for Others. 

REFUGEE RESETTLEMENT

Ambassadors are also working with Welcoming Falls Church to provide GIVE Day Funds to help a refugee family who will be resettling in Falls Church City in early 2024. The goal is to raise $750+ for this resettlement project.
