Dear Friends and Volunteers of ACTS,

During the last year, ACTS celebrated 40 years of service to the Prince William Community and this was possible because volunteer citizens saw a need and acted. Volunteers are the heart of this organization. Since July, they contributed over 12,190 hours through a variety of tasks – from direct assistance to their neighbors to IT services that keep ACTS connected to the world.

Throughout this newsletter, each program director will highlight a few of their volunteers and testimonies. Our volunteers come from a variety of backgrounds and contribute their time for a variety of reasons. Some of our volunteers have become paid staff and some use their experience here to build resumes for jobs elsewhere. We have volunteers that come for a short period of time or for one project as well as volunteers that have been with ACTS over 10 years or longer. Some volunteers know in which area they want to help and others want to help, but are not sure where. Our volunteer pool is so important to ACTS that we have a staff member, Beth Lewis, whose main job is to match respective volunteers to available opportunities at ACTS. She would love to hear from you.

We take this opportunity to show our appreciation for your selfless commitment of time and talent that you give to people in need. On April 14, we would like to thank you further at our Annual Membership Meeting and Volunteer Appreciation Dinner. We look forward to seeing you there and thank you very much.

Sincerely,
Frances Harris
ACTS Executive Director
