Update on Kids Do Good

Kids Do Good is back for the fall and the children have already started making an impact on our local community!

Students recently participated in two meaningful service projects:

They created “Socks of Love” by filling cozy socks with toiletries, first aid items, and snacks to support those experiencing homelessness, and
They assembled Power Packs for Food for Others to help ensure food-insecure children in Fairfax County have meals over the weekend.

Leftover items will be donated to the Katherine Hanley Family Shelter, continuing our school’s tradition of giving—last year, Willow Springs students contributed over 500 pounds of food through our Food Sharing Program.

Good job, students!!
