Navient employees support local nonprofit school supply efforts
July 12 2018 - 10:00AM
Students will return to school with new supplies thanks to Kids R
First, an all-volunteer nonprofit committed to helping kids in
need. The organization has invited Navient employees, for a fifth
year, to help fill bulk orders for schools receiving the supplies.
The Navient Foundation, the company’s philanthropic fund,
donated $7,500 to the program to support the purchase of school
supplies for 1,150 students.
“Navient’s donation will provide students with the tools they
need to succeed in school,” said Susan Ungerer, president and
CEO, Kids R First. “Many of these students' parents are not
financially able to purchase the required school supplies. With the
support of Navient, our local Walmart and Guernsey, the regional
office supply company, we are able to purchase four dollars of
quality supplies for a buck.”
Last year, 45 Navient employees volunteered to fill bulk orders
of supplies for specific schools.
“I am extremely proud to be a Navient employee,” said Kathryn
Drosky, volunteer. “I am pleased to be able to volunteer with such
a worthwhile cause to help students in the community succeed in
their academics by having the school supplies they need. This event
is a great team building experience. We are able to get to know and
participate in the local community while bonding with
co-workers.”
Since opening in 1998, Kids R First has served more than 360,500
kids in Northern Virginia. The nonprofit provides school supplies
to students who receive free or reduced priced meals at their
school.
