Thank you to the amazing team at Express Moving and Storage, a new partner who provided critical support for the Gifting for Families toy donation drive in December. Express Moving and Storage dispatched a truck and drivers, to move key set-up furniture that transformed a vacant store front into a magical toy closet that ensured that more than 2,200 children in Northern Virginia receivef a gift for the holiday season.
The team at Express Moving and Storage transported and set up tables, chairs, and supplies to kick-off Gifting for Families, and at the end of the donation drive, returned to help with take-down and transported a very special delivery of toys back to the SERVE Campus for distribution. Express Moving and Storage, we are so appreciative of your support for NVFS.
