Make it possible for families in need to have joyous and delicious Thanksgiving dinners!
Help at our food drive at the Sterling Giant: 21800 Town Center Plaza, Sterling, VA 20164, now through November 17, 2016.
You would operate our donation table, hand out informational flyers, and speak to customers about our food drive and organization. We will provide all necessary materials, but we just need you and your positive energy. You will be rewarded by witnessing the generosity of the customers who you meet!
Just two (or more) hours of your time would make a big difference in helping us reach our goals!
This would be a meaningful opportunity for students, families, friends, individuals seeking community service hours, and anyone else who wants to give back to their community and the incredible families who live in it!

Mission Statement
Community Empowerment Northern Virginia (CENV) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with this core belief: when one plants a S.E.E.D. by Strengthening, Educating, Empowering and Developing, strong communities will grow. To facilitate this movement, CENV offers one-to-one mentoring, tutoring, adult education workshops, leadership training, and much more. These services empower personal growth, support academic success and educate people toward developing self-sufficiency.
Description
Today’s society is challenged by an increasingly difficult world. Family problems, substance abuse, economic pressure, and the lure of gangs and delinquency threaten our youth physically and emotionally. Community Empowerment Northern Virginia is dedicated to providing community-based services that support, guide and inspire people to build life skills required to become resilient, self-sufficient adults. Using adult and peer mentoring to provide positive role models and promote skill development, Community Empowerment Northern Virginia strives to help build self-acceptance, strengthen school performance, and enhance executive functioning.
By providing people with positive role models in the community, Community Empowerment seeks to achieve the following objectives:
- Provide people with a vital sense of belonging
- Give people a sense that the greater community also cares about them
- Move people forward on their way to conscious and self-sufficient adulthood
- Support people on their journey to discover their true potential
- Provide people with access to the resources necessary to achieve social and academic success
- Help more people graduate high school and move on to higher education that supports their dreams
- Create an array of services that complement the web of services already existing in our communities
- Educate and empower parents and families to be more involved in family and community growth
