Paul VI Property Meeting

Toward that end, IDI will conduct a community meeting, Thursday, Feb. 11, at 7 p.m., to gather public initial input about that property’s future use.

Help Families Stay Warm

When the weather is cold, many local families cannot afford the luxury of turning on the heat in their homes to stay warm. So the Fairfax-based nonprofit, Our Daily Bread (ODB), is trying to raise at least $16,000 by the end of February to help them.

“It’s incredible to think that, in prosperous Fairfax County, 148,000 people live in or near poverty,” said ODB Executive Director Lisa Whetzel. “When you’re paid by the hour, losing work days because of snow, school cancellations or illnesses makes it so hard to pay for life’s necessities.”

To contribute, go to www.odbfairfax.org. To share the campaign page on social media, use the hashtag #KeepFXKidsWarm. All donations will go directly toward financial assistance for Fairfax County residents in need.

Science Fair Volunteers Needed

Lake Braddock Secondary School is looking for volunteers for its Lake Braddock Science Fair, which will be held Thursday, Feb. 11 from 3-6 p.m.
