As floodwaters continue to devastate parts of Texas, a Central Virginia nonprofit is mobilizing local support to send relief to families who have lost everything.

After every Thanksgiving, the first Tuesday is a day dedicated to raising money for non-profits. Many local charities rely on money raised today to help them throughout the year including two non-profits in the New River Valley.

Freedom First’s “Play for Purpose” program officially surpassed $100,000 raised after presenting two checks to local New River Valley non-profits.
