Back to school

Every August we offer our School Readiness Academy, a two-week program to refresh rising second- to fifth-graders at James River Elementary on reading, writing and math skills. Our School Readiness Academy provides uniforms and supplies to children attending James River.


Seasonal

Our Summer Lunch Program delivers healthy meals to children. Every spring, juniors and seniors in the Williamsburg/James City County School System can shop at our Prom Boutique for prom attire, including gowns and men’s clothing.
