As the days get shorter and the weather turns cooler, grabbing our coats before leaving the house may not feel like much, but it’s a luxury that the 400 homeless in Prince William County simply don’t have.

Coinciding with the Manassas Christmas Parade, the public is encouraged to drop off coats or clothing in exchange for one free taco voucher per item.
