Greetings, Prince William – Hunger Action Month may be over, but guess what’s on the horizon: Thanksgiving Food Drives! To kick things off, the wonderful staff at ACTS is now accepting food and gift card donations for their Operation Give Thanks through November 19. You’ll feel great as you help provide a Happy Thanksgiving to those in need in our community! Please visit www.actspwc.org/about-us/news-events/operation-give-thanks-1 to learn more. Volunteers will be needed! Please contact Shirley at 703.441.8606 ext. 288 or email [email protected] for more information.
Both ACTS and SERVE continue to have an Urgent need for Food Pickup Drivers, age 21+ to support their food assistance programs on weekends. Volunteers drive to area grocery stores/restaurants to pick up food donations and deliver back to the appropriate warehouse. Be prepared to lift boxes weighing 30 pounds or more. Drivers for SERVE must commit to twice a month for at least 6 months. Training is provided at both agencies. This is a wonderful way to give back to the community, especially with the holidays approaching! For ACTS, please email [email protected], for SERVE please email [email protected] for more information.
Save the Date! ACTS is holding I Walk for ACTS 5K October 9 thru 16. Once again, the event will be virtual, but you can select your course, enjoy fresh air, get in some healthy exercise and raise funds for a worthy cause! What a fun way to enjoy early Fall weather with your family! Please visit www.iwalkforacts.com to register and learn more.
