One of Fitwize 4 Kids’ missions is to engage and encourage children to give back to our community, all while learning how to serve. Monthly service projects are available for After School Program students to actively participate in, and are centered around specific monthly themes. In addition to our monthly service projects, Fitwize has designed programs in which we offer annual programs; which include:
- American Childhood Cancer Organization / St. Jude’s Childrens Hospital — Collecting through September 26
- Loudoun County Animal Shelter — Collecting through October 31
- Loudoun Hunger Relief’s Thanksgiving Drive — Collecting through November 10
