On Friday January 8, 2016 from 10 -11 a.m., ’s Pre-K Volunteer Program, Aquia Christian Serves, will serve the Stafford County based nonprofit organization, S.E.R.V.E.
S.E.R.V.E. is an emergency assistance food pantry that provides assistance to families one time a month, a Community Pharmacy, and Emergency Financial Assistance for residents of Stafford County. Our Pre-K Students (3 and 4 year olds) will be traveling to the facility and sorting/packaging canned food items for the organization.
There will also be a Service Learning aspect incorporated into our academic curriculum for our students so that they may begin to understand the community service they are committing as well as the impact. The need for Aquia Christian Serves was determined because volunteering is essential to youth’s development and personal growth.
