During the Spring of 2020, the MEHMSPTA was proud to sponsor the Falls Church Better Together initiative in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. A fundraiser was created to sell Falls Church t-shirts showcasing our local pride, and the belief that we are better together. Over $35,000 was raised to help our community during unprecedented times. All of the profits from sales went towards purchasing gift cards at over 60 local small businesses. The gift cards were distributed to families and residents in need identified through the Falls Church Education Foundation Family Assistance Fund, Food for Others and the City Human Services Department. Additional recipients included Homestretch, Spend Yourself Food Pantry and Operation Pathways as well as local first responders.
