The Northern Virginia Alliance League (NVAL) hosted its 2025 Holiday Luncheon on Tuesday, December 9, at the elegant Army Navy Country Club in Arlington, bringing together community members for an afternoon of generosity, celebration, and purpose. Benefiting Meals on Wheels Arlington, the event welcomed guests with a holiday gift basket raffle and silent auction, followed by a seated luncheon. The festive atmosphere was further elevated by a fashion show presented by Monkee’s of Fairfax, adding a stylish touch to an already memorable gathering.

Proceeds from the luncheon directly supported Meals on Wheels Arlington, whose mission is to nourish and empower homebound individuals through compassionate meal delivery. Through events like this, NVAL continues its longstanding commitment to strengthening the local community by providing financial support to vital nonprofit organizations. The 2025 Holiday Luncheon served as a meaningful reminder of the impact that collective generosity can have—especially during the holiday season—while celebrating the power of community coming together for a shared cause.
