IWALK for ACTS brings hundreds together, raises thousands

On Saturday, October 17, hundreds joined together at Pfitzner Stadium in Woodbridge to raise funds and awareness for families struggling to make ends meet. The 5th Annual IWALK for ACTS, hosted by ACTS of Prince William and Image Church, raised $44,000 to support ACTS programs and services.

“We are beyond grateful for the outpouring of support from the community for the 5th Annual IWALK for ACTS,” said Steve Liga, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director at ACTS. “Thank you to Image Church for leading the effort. Funds raised will make a direct impact for individuals facing crises in our community.”

ACTS staff and volunteers are committed to providing their expertise and ACTS resources to help those in crisis identify the options that are available to them at times when they feel they have none. At times, these crises can be alleviated through one contact and short term assistance. In other cases, a client’s personal crisis may take longer to address, such as in the areas of domestic violence and sexual assault. ACTS believes that to change lives and create a safe and welcoming community we must together face the issues of hunger, homelessness and interpersonal violence that prevent people from reaching their potential.
