Northern Virginia Family Service organizes a few "major" donation drives throughout the year.

The Back-to-School Drive takes place in July and August each year. NVFS provides new backpacks stuffed with grade-appropriate school supplies for our most vulnerable clients, ensuring that they start school "ready to learn". 

The Gifting for Families Holiday Initiative is actually two donation drives in one! During the months of November and December thousands of toys and tens of thousands of dollars in gift cards are collected to help make the holidays a little bit brighter for the families we serve.

In addition to these very important drives, our programs at SERVE organize Operation Turkey and Operation Christmas during November and December. Operation Turkey provides Thanksgiving baskets to well over 1,000 families and helps stock our Emergency Food Distribution Center with supplemental foods to distribute to our neighbors in need in Manassas and western Prince William County. Operation Christmas helps to provide toys to hundreds of children, who would otherwise go without during the holiday season.
