Community Outreach

Our Commitment
to Helping Others

Each year the Alexandria Singers “adopt” an organization and coordinate a drive to collect supplies at their concerts for that special group.

This season, the Singers collected supplies for the City
of Alexandria’s Jefferson-Houston School for the Arts
and Academics. Jefferson-Houston’s mission is to “provide a superior instructional program for all students that is integrated and reinforced through the visual and performing arts.” The school also provides a number of after-school programs. The students in these programs can use various school and art supplies to assist them with their academic endeavors.

Jefferson-Houston parents sent the Alexandria Singers a note of appreciation for the donations collected at their holiday concert on December 7, 2003. (below)
