Parrish Cares- Community Outreach

Our community is extremely important to us and that is why we created our PLZ Give program. PLZ Give is our way of helping students in need through various community outreach venues in Fredericksburg, VA. The past seven years we have held our Annual Stuff the Bus School Supplies Drive and partnered with Spotsylvania County Schools and Wal-Mart!! We have been able to collect a ton of school supplies to benefit local needy and homeless children through the Treasure House. Please share this wonderful community event with your friends and family and we hope to see you next year on tax-free weekend.

Stuff the Bus 2018

We are blessed to have such an amazing community who comes together every year to collect school supplies for needy and homeless students in Spotsylvania County Public Schools. The 2018 drive was a huge success and we were able to collect tons of supplies that will be provided to students throughout the school year. Thank you to Coldwell Banker Elite and Wal-Mart for their support this year!
