Call to Action: Local Volunteer Opportunities
It’s summer, and Christmas is probably the last thing on your mind. However, Volunteer Prince William is holding its Christmas in July program to support Untrim a Tree 2024 (UTAT), and you can make an online donation now! Last year, there was a significant drop in toy donations, which caused many unsponsored children to face the possibility of Christmas morning with no gifts. Your support allows us to support these children so they will have a Merry Christmas! Of course, if you still want to sponsor a child when UTAT goes live this fall, they will be glad to provide you with the name and wish list of a child! Please visit bit.ly/485xq6Q to donate on VPW’s Volusecure online donation site; email ed@volunteerprincewilliam.org for more information. You can also purchase toys now for UTAT by visiting the Amazon wish list. On behalf of the kids you’ll be helping, thank you for your support.
