A Williamsburg 9-year-old, Quinn Eppright, and her family started a new nonprofit, Spark Community Empowerment, to help WJCC students in need. The effort was inspired by Quinn’s classmate being bullied for not having clean clothes. The nonprofit aims to fund a laundry token program through WJCC Schools and collect new and gently used clothing and socks for students. Spark Community Empowerment will host its first fundraiser, a family bingo night, on May 16 at the Williamsburg Indoor Sports Complex. A clothing drive for new socks, undergarments, and new or gently used clothing is ongoing until May 16, with drop-off locations at WISC, Williamsburg Orthodontics, and The Kensington School.
