Inova Loudoun Hospital’s Mobile Hope program is hosting a number of donation drives beginning this Friday, Feb. 24, which will benefit at-risk youth who live in Loudoun County. Last month, during a check presentation for Mobile Hope, Community Affairs Executive and Director Donna Fortier said there were at least 650 homeless children that had been identified last spring.

Mobile Hope Van Reaches Out to Homeless Children

The keynote speaker at Inova Loudoun's annual Community Affairs Summit luncheon recounts a career teaching homeless children.

Loudoun‘s ahead of Fairfax again – by a whisker thin margin, it's the richest county in the United States – maybe in the universe. So there’s no problem with homeless children here. Right? Wrong, said Donna Fortier, Inova Loudoun Hospital’s community affairs executive, to the nearly 200 guests at the 4th annual Chaplaincy and Community Affairs Summit, hosted by the hospital at the National Conference Center in Leesburg. The theme for 2011 is “Focusing on the homeless children in our community.” Public schools in Loudoun tallied 659 homeless children, ages 18 and younger, in the 2010 school year, Fortier said.
