This weekend is the Virginia Sales Tax Holiday and school supplies are tax free. While you're out this weekend, please consider supporting the 50,000 students in Fairfax County Public Schools who, without help, might start the school year without the tools necessary to succeed.

  • Consider buying a backpack and donated at any Apple Federal Credit Union branch.
  • If you forget or can't get out, consider donating at www.collectforkids.org -- where we can turn $1 into $3 of school supplies.

Collect for Kids is a consortium of not-for-profits, for-profits, and government working together to support students.
