Greetings, Prince William! We are excited to share that we were featured in the May 2026 issue Prince William Living. While many know us for our Untrim-A-Tree and Senior Basket Program, that's just the beginning. This feature highlights the other programs we offer and the impact we're making across the community throughout the year!
None of this work would be possible without the incredible support of our community partners, residents, and local businesses-we're so grateful to be part of such a giving community. Check out the article to learn more: https://bit.ly/4cUuNIX
