Volunteers needed in the Greater Prince William community - Jan. 5, 2018

Good Morning Prince William & Happy Holidays!  We are so thankful and grateful to everyone in the Prince William community for supporting this year’s Un-Trim-a-Tree program.  On Christmas morning, 6,000 children woke up to new toys under the tree, while more than 250 seniors and special needs adults enjoyed a gift bag filled with goodies and necessities.  Generous donors and hard-working volunteers made this happen - thank you again for doing your part to make a Joyous Holiday Season possible for our vulnerable residents!

Cleaning out your closets?  The wonderful folks at MADD are accepting donations of clean, gently used sneakers (no holes, please) through December!  Shoes can be dropped off with Shelley at our Volunteer Prince William office.  Please contact Shelley at (703) 369-5292 ext. 0 for more information.
