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
One of the programs highlighted in the article is our Veteran Enhanced Transportation Service (VETS) Program. If you are passionate about supporting our local Veterans, please consider joining our VETS Program and help give back to those in our community who need it most. Our VETS volunteers pick up the Veterans for medical appointments, grocery store runs, senior centers, and more. Once signed up, you decide how often you drive and schedule as many or as few rides as you'd like. For more information or to be added to our volunteer list: https://bit.ly/3JlRF9j
