Langley hosted a successful food drive this holiday season collecting 900 pounds of food for local foodbanks.
Join us in giving back this holiday season to end hunger in Hampton Roads. All food collected will be donated to the Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia and the Eastern Shore and the Virginia Peninsula Foodbank. Donate at any Langley branch today!
Over a dozen Langley employees reported to CHKD's lobby on November 6-8 instead of their offices to volunteer their time manning the phone banks for 94.9 The Point's 18th Annual Radiothon. The long-standing tradition raises thousands of dollars for Children's Hospital of The King's Daughters.
Edmarc Hospice for Children
Langley for Families Foundation has supported Edmarc Hospice for Children with donations totaling $11,500. Edmarc provides hospice and support services to families facing the trauma of a child's illness or death in the Hampton Roads area.
We visited Edmarc to learn more about the organization. Here are three families who shared their stories of what Edmarc means to them.
“At Menchville House we believe that everyone should have daily nutritious meals and a clean, comfortable and safe place to refocus as they strive to regain their independence. Langley for Families’ generous donation will help us further our mission of providing a temporary home to homeless families as they pursue their efforts to secure permanent housing.”

“Literacy for Life improves lives by teaching adults the literacy skills required for self-sufficiency, better health, and meaningful participation in society. Langley for Families’ gift of $5,000 helps our learners find better jobs, earn their GEDs, actively participate in their children’s education and become more involved in our community.”

“Regional emergency shelter is both one of our community's strongest needs and most limited resources. The generosity we've received from Langley for Families will not only help us provide emergency shelter to families with children who would otherwise sleep in cars or on streets, but will also help us fulfill our mission of breaking the cycle of homelessness and poverty for families and children.”

“There is no better return on investment than in the early childhood years both in terms of human capital and social capital. We thank you for the financial support as these centers are a critical component in getting our children healthy and prepared for kindergarten so they have the opportunity to succeed in school and in life.”
