2026 Back2School Drive

Let’s Help Local Students Start the Year Strong

Virginia Railway Express is supporting NVFS’ Back2School Drive because every child deserves to start the school year with confidence—and that starts with having the right supplies.

For many local families, especially in today’s economy, the cost of backpacks, notebooks, and basic school items is a real burden. When parents are choosing between groceries, rent, and pencils, something as simple as a fully stocked backpack can mean one less worry—and a powerful reminder that their community has their back.

We're raising funds to help NVFS fill over 1,500 backpacks with the supplies students need to succeed. Your donation will help cover the cost of items we’re short on so no student is left behind.

Please consider making a gift by July 24, 2026—every contribution gets us closer to a strong start for every child.
