The Levine School of Music's inner-city music programs have been so successful that their need for instruments has tripled this year. So many scholarship students have no instruments and no money to rent them that the school is putting out a request for used instruments to give to students in need. Contributions are tax deductible. The Association of American Foreign Service Women is looking for donations of books, stamps, coins, crafts, jewelry, and pictures for its annual fund-raising sale, which takes place in October.
Donations are tax deductible and are accepted all year long.
Proceeds will benefit a scholarship program and local charities. When a woman completes a job-training program at any of 40 local organizations, a Suited for Change volunteer helps her select two outfits for job interviews. If she gets a job, she can pick out additional clothes to wear to work. Collections take place at 1531 P Street, NW, the second Saturday of every month between 9 am and noon. DC Partnership for Education provides tutoring, mentoring, and financial assistance for needy DC students who want to go to college.
