The Child and Family Network Centers (CFNC) needs your help right now!
Alexandria, VA – A sewer pipe burst at the CFNC Chirilagua preschool classroom, and the classroom needs to be completely renovated as soon as possible.
Classes begin September 8, so they have to quickly raise approximately $50,000 to get this classroom ready for their preschool children. This classroom is essential for this community and provides critical, high-quality childcare and education for low-income, immigrant essential workers in Alexandria.
In addition to the burst sewer pipe, the entire classroom is now infested with fleas. They have to replace all of the furniture and classroom supplies, as well as completely renovate the classroom kitchen, replace the cabinets, replace the carpets, and repair the sewer pipe.

The Chirilagua classroom is located in an apartment donated to CFNC and within the Chirilagua Housing Cooperative. The Cooperative provides affordable housing in this high-poverty neighborhood to serve immigrant families at risk of homelessness. In turn, CFNC provides essential workers with childcare as well as holistic, wrap-around resources and early educational enrichment to prepare each child to thrive in kindergarten.
