The back lobby at Boeing in Rosslyn was humming with activity as employees filled 875 elementary school backpacks on Friday morning, Aug. 8. The backpacks will be distributed to children participating in Reading Connection programs throughout the Northern Virginia region and the Greentree Shelter in Bethesda, Md.
Boeing has been collaborating with the Reading Connection since 2006 and this year donated $21,555 to support the program.
