Jaguar Pantry Update
Falls Church High School’s first big event of the year is this coming Saturday, September 10th. Thanks to the Jaguar football team for providing the muscles to move the full bins into pantry storage at CityLight Church!
There is a need for heavy lifters (9 a.m. — 11:30 a.m.) during the Food for Neighbors collection event, and large vehicles (10:30 a.m. — 11:30 a.m.) to move bins to the pantry storage. Please look at the SignUp Genius for all the details. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/2022-09-10-falls-church
Join the Jaguar Pantry Volunteer team. They need volunteers during weekdays and some weekends for various ongoing tasks including: sorting and organizing, moving food between locations, moving or delivering food to families, etc. https://bit.ly/FCHSPantryVolunteerSignup The Jaguar Pantry works closely with the Social Workers at FCHS and supports the community by collecting, organizing and distributing food, hygiene products and cleaning supplies to around 80 families once a month.

Volunteers Needed
Justice High School’s Athletic Boosters need help. They squeaked by with a low number of super hard working volunteers last year. Their concession stands need more volunteers. They are back to full concession stand sales this season.. Their concession stands are 100 percent volunteer run.
All net profits of each event go to support every team. FCPS provides no budget to the athletic office. All funds generated for athletic accounts come from ticket sales and booster donations — a majority of which comes from concession sales. “It takes a village” to support an athletic program — please sign up.
