Every Iced Coffee Counts: Dunkin’ Supports Childhood Foundation With June 18 Push
On Wednesday, June 18, Dunkin’ locations across Woodbridge and neighboring areas will donate $1 for every iced coffee or cold brew sold to the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation. The campaign supports programs that uplift children facing sickness or food insecurity. Online merchandise sales will also benefit the cause. In 2024, the event raised $2.1 million nationally.

New Housing Law Offers Developers Incentives to Add Affordable Units in Prince William
Prince William County’s Board of Supervisors approved its first affordable housing ordinance, which takes effect December 1, 2025. The legislation introduces a voluntary bonus density program for developers who include housing units for residents earning 50% to 80% of the Area Median Income. The county also established a Housing Trust Fund to support financing of affordable units. While Democratic supervisors praised the move as a necessary step toward housing equity, Republicans criticized the ordinance’s definitions and potential consequences. Despite concerns, the trust fund received bipartisan support, with a projected total of $31 million to be allocated by 2029. (Inside NoVa)
Free Etching Event in Prince William County Aims to Deter Catalytic Converter Theft
Prince William County Police will host a free catalytic converter etching event with G&C Tire & Auto Service in Manassas on Saturday, June 28. Open to county residents, the initiative aims to deter a rise in catalytic converter thefts by engraving vehicle parts for traceability. Targeted vehicles include Ford/Chevy work vans and the Toyota Prius. Etching requires proof of vehicle ownership. The Police Department is also partnering with local recyclers to track thefts and enforce state laws, which classify converter theft as a felony. (PWC)
