This has put additional pressure on food assistance programs such as SERVE and ACTS. But you can help by holding a food drive or donating to their programs! For SERVE in Manassas, please visitwww.nvfs.org/snap-response/ for more information. For ACTS in Dumfries, please visit www.actspwc.org/services/food-assistance#Donations to learn more.

Volunteer Prince William is in urgent need of a Spanish-speaking volunteer who can be on call to translate for Alternative Community Service clients who want to enroll in our program but speak little or no English. The volunteer will participate in a conference call between staff and the client to translate the questions and responses during the initial intake interview. Volunteers will be scheduled ahead of time for specific shifts and must be available by phone during these times. Volunteers must be proficient in English and Spanish and able to speak clearly. They must also ensure that the information they translate remains accurate and maintains the same style and meaning as originally intended. The conference call can be done once a week, or you can be on standby. Email [email protected] for more information.
