I don't know about you, but this week's earthquake brought a new level of significance to our Healthy Families Alexandria Home Safety Kit action. There is nothing more important than making your home as safe as possible for your family.  It also made meeting our goal that much sweeter!

Thanks to your donations and a $500 match from the RunningBrooke Fund, Healthy Families Alexandria will be able to help 67 Alexandria families create a safer home environment for their children.
