Give to the ACCA Challenge Grant
| | Click this image to make a secure online donation. |
The Washington Forrest Foundation has pledged $18,000 and anonymous donors have pledged additional funds for a total challenge grant of $30,000. Our goal is to raise $5 for each $1 of the challenge, or $150,000 from now through January 31, 2011. Please consider a donation to ACCA toward the challenge.
During the past year, ACCA assisted thousands of struggling households. The needs are great to provide emergency assistance to people who need ACCA's support. This support can help people avoid eviction, restore utility service, or obtain medicine or who urgently need food. ACCA also provides high-quality day care for children of low-income working parents. Our furniture program provides basic furniture and bedding, often to families moving from shelters to empty apartments. More funds are needed than ever from the Challenge Grant Campaign so that ACCA can continue to provide such emergency assistance.
Checks may be made payable to ACCA, designating "Challenge Grant." Please mail checks to ACCA at 7200 Columbia Pike, Annandale VA 22003. Donations can also be made online - click this link.
ACCA was named "One of the Best nonprofits in the Washington Metro Area" by the Catalogue for Philanthropy due to our efficiency and effectiveness.
