The Dunne Dispatch - 07/18/2025
Dear Friends and Neighbors,
Supervisor Dan Storck and I are teaming up with Educate Fairfax to provide new school supplies for students attending schools in the Mount Vernon District. These supplies and new backpacks will be distributed at our annual Mount Vernon District Back to School Event on Saturday, August 2 at the Lorton Community Action Center.
Last year, we gave away 700 backpacks and more than 2,400 people attended! We hope to provide 1,000 backpacks this year–but we need your help.

Click here to donate to this effort now! A $15 donation buys a full set of school supplies. A $25 donation includes a backpack.
-
Drop off your donations of school supplies on Saturday, July 19, 10 AM - 4 PM at Walmart (7910 Richmond Hwy, Alexandria, VA - near Costco). Hope we can count on your support!
