The athletes also collected 346 pounds of food and personal care items at the Sept. 13 event, Volley for the Neighbors. The D.C. Everest JV3 team also participated in the event.
Over the last two years, these two volleyball teams have raised $12,380 for The Neighbors’ Place and collected 638 pounds of food and personal care items, according to a D.C.
