Greetings, Prince William! We haven't posted lately due to end of fiscal year duties, but we are back and ready to bring all the new volunteer opportunities your way!
In closing out the fiscal year, we have tallied the numbers for our VETS Program. During FY26, our VETS Drivers provided almost 1,200 rides and traveled over 18,500 miles! This incredible work would not be possible without the support of our community and those who volunteer to drive for us daily - as well as the funding provided by Potomac Health Foundation. This program is instrumental in getting over 110 Veterans and their spouses/widow(er)s to medical appointments. Want to learn more about this program or volunteering? https://bit.ly/4qmJf2c
