Greetings, Prince William! Get ready for the Community Resource Fair on March 25th from 10am until 2pm! This Resource Fair will provide community members the opportunity to visit and learn from a variety of community partners focusing on addressing the needs of older adults - covering topics that matter in everyday life. Planned resources include nutritious low-cost meals, healthy snacks, social and recreational opportunities at the Senior Centers, and much more! Participating partners represent county agencies, health and wellness partners, and nonprofit organizations. Volunteer Prince William will also be there to share volunteer information and resources for older adults. We hope you join us at the Pat White Center at Ben Lomond located at 10501 Copeland Drive in Manassas on March 25th. Can't wait to see you there!
