What's the most exciting thing about our latest fundraiser? YOU DON'T HAVE TO BUY ANYTHING!
Donating your gently worn, used or new shoes helps raise money for learners to attend classes at LVA. Not only do you help us, but the shoes also get a second life with those in need.
Donations can be dropped off in the lobby of the Edgewood Terrace complex (detailed location instructions attached):
635 Edgewood St NE
Washington, D.C. 20017
Reading opens the door to the many opportunities life has to offer. As a community, this should be something we strive to give all of our residents. That's what we do at LVA, can you help us?

Low literacy rates have public health implications. To #CrushTheVirus we all must do our part.
With help from @councilofdc & @MayorBowser, LVA believes it can reach more of the DC community during a time when adult literacy has such potential to improve public health efforts!

Low literacy rates are not unique just to DC. 54% of US adults ages 16-74 have below a sixth grade reading level. Studies suggest this costs the economy roughly $2.2 trillion annually.

It’s crazy to think that in Washington, D.C., 25% of adults do not possess basic reading skills. This has to change.
LVA’s tutoring and advocacy work is dedicated to reversing this trend.
