Loudoun County residents are spreading holiday cheer with some creative projects this holiday season to help local residents in need.
When Aimee McKinney, chief marketing officer at the law firm Dunlap Bennett & Ludwig, began volunteering at the Ampersand Pantry project on East Market Street in Leesburg this fall, it occurred to her that the people driving through the line every day for free lunches may need some help providing Christmas gifts for their children.
McKinney, working with Ampersandâs founder, Peter Burnett of the Leesburg law firm Burnett Williams, and another volunteer, Gabriela Lamas, coordinated an effort to provide gifts for more than 400 children.
