What is LIfeFest?
LifeFest is a community event that offers gently used items, food, games and a live kid’s show at no cost!
In 2009 over 5,000 people were given food baskets, appliances, household items, and clothing all at absolutely no cost to them! At our premiere event, a Kids Show Stage, kids enjoyed cartoon characters, moon bounces, carnival type games and prizes and a great show!
The whole family enjoyed the Community Giveaway, where families who have trouble making ends meet receivevd gently used items, in great working conditions for free. Items that have been donated over the past few years are children’s items, such as toys, clothing, car seats, strollers, infant seats, etc.; entertainment items, such as books, videos, DVDs, CDs, etc.; and household items, such as furniture, large and small appliances, decorative items, and plenty of non-perishable food, etc.
LifeFest is sponsored by The Making Life Better Foundation and area businesses. David Baird, the President of the Making Life Better Foundation, spearheads the event. “It is refreshing to offer the community something that really has no strings attached. No money is necessary. This is an event that helps underprivileged families all over Manassas and Prince William County. People can come and enjoy an outing, pick up items that they need for their home, eat some great food, and give their kids a day to remember! We have a team of a couple hundred people who are working hard to make this day enjoyable and impacting for all who attend,” says Baird.
There is no cost for admission to the LifeFest, and all items, food, games and entertainment are free.
