SUMMARY:GiveChoose
DESCRIPTION:Give Choose is a day of giving organized annually by the Community Foundation for Loudoun and Northern Fauquier Counties to support local nonprofits. The 24-hour day of giving makes all the difference for many nonprofits and the people we serve! \nAll Gifts Matter—every contribution helps move us closer to a more just\, equitable world for people with disabilities. \n\nYour gift of $50 helps people with disabilities to be treated fairly and given the opportunity to reach their full potential.\nYour gift of $100 helps people with disabilities and their families’ overcome barriers and gain access to essential services.\nYour gift of $250 provides Bridge the Gap funds for students\, clients and families to attend our programs and support emergency assistance.\nYour gift of $1\,000 supports early intervention services for children age 18 months to 8 years old.\n\nSupport The Arc of Loudoun! \n  \nDid you know March is Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month? \nDisabilities may be temporary—as when a person is healing from a broken bone\, and disabilities may be invisible—as when someone is experiencing mental illness. The Arc of Loudoun offers a safe place to heal\, to learn\, and to grow for more than 5\,000 of our neighbors each year facing disabilities of all kinds. Miracles happen here every day. Your generosity helps The Arc of Loudoun work to provide a lifetime of opportunities for people with disabilities.
