Marilyn is the dog I am fostering. She came to me from the awesome folks at the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria. The work they do day in and day out for our friends with paws (and wings and other funny appendages) cannot be calculated. Support them today on #GivingTuesday. And support them...
"I helped a homeless Vietnam veteran get access to healthcare! #unselfie"Our staff is committed to ending homelessness in Alexandria. Case managers play an important role in that!
Crouton is one of the friendliest, most outgoing bunny we have ever had at the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria. She likes going with our Youth Coordinator to visit children and help them learn about the care of animals. So, it only makes sense that she would want to hop into the action...
I adopted Nicky and Sophie from the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria, an organization of caring, compassionate, and hard-working people. We support the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria on this #Giving Tuesday and everyday.
I believe in the importance of creating original, nonverbal theatre performances and providing educational programs specifically for children 0 - 6 right here in Alexandria, VA. I pledge my support to Arts on the Horizon this #GivingTuesday! #unselfie

"I coordinate 1,000 #unselfie volunteers every year!" With all those volunteers running the front desk, making meals, and providing many other services, it takes a lot of planning! Our volunteer coordinator works hard to make sure it all gets done. #unselfie
Helping children learn to read is an important skill they will take with them for a lifetime.
