Prince William Organizations Seek Help to Serve Seniors, Veterans, and the Homeless
Prince William County organizations are calling on volunteers to assist with vital community programs this winter. Opportunities include donating blood at the “Joe 15” Blood Drive, delivering meals to homebound seniors, teaching English literacy classes, and driving food recovery routes. Groups can also provide meals for a local hypothermia shelter. Flexible schedules and training are available for many roles, making it easy for residents to make a difference. (PW Times)
