Though
this
year's
holiday
season
has
looked
a
little
different,
the
community
continues
to
come
together
to
support
each
other.
In
November,
SPARK,
the
education
foundation
for
Prince
William
County
Public
Schools,
worked
with
two
organizations
to
help
supply
families
with
Thanksgiving
meals.
Once
again,
NBC4
Washington
and
their
"Food
4
Families"
initiative,
provided
turkeys
and
Safeway
gift
cards
to
140
PWCS
families.
This
year,
the
turkeys
were
larger
than
ever,
weighing
in
at
20
or
more
pounds
each.
With
help
from
school
staff
at
Unity
Reed
High
School
and
Fred
Lynn
Middle
School,
families
were
able
to
pick-up
the
meals
just
before
the
holiday.
New
this
year,
Uptown
Alley
in
Manassas
partnered
with
SPARK
to
provide
pre-cooked
meal
kits
that
included
turkey,
sides
of
potatoes,
green
beans,
stuffing,
and
rolls,
as
well
as
dessert.
Uptown
Alley
sold
the
meal
kits
to
the
public
in
early
November,
and
for
every
two
kits
they
sold,
they
were
able
to
donate
a
meal
kit
to
a
PWCS
family.
More
than
20
kits
were
made
available
for
PWCS
families.
SPARK
thanks
NBC4
and
Uptown
Alley
for
their
generosity
and
wishes
all
of
PWCS
a
happy
holiday
season.
