A 9-year-old Williamsburg resident, Quinn Eppright, and her family have started a new nonprofit, Spark Community Empowerment, to assist students in need within WJCC Schools. The initiative was inspired after Quinn saw a classmate bullied for not having clean clothes due to lack of laundry access. The organization plans to raise funds for a school laundry token program and collect clothing donations. Their first fundraiser, a bingo night at the Williamsburg Indoor Sports Complex, is scheduled for May 16 starting at 5:30 PM. An ongoing clothing drive is also collecting new and gently used items until May 16 at drop-off locations including WISC, Williamsburg Orthodontics, and The Kensington School.
