Call to Action: Local Volunteer Opportunities
It’s summer, and Christmas is probably the last thing on your mind. However, Volunteer Prince William has kicked off Christmas in July to support Untrim a Tree 2024 (UTAT), and you can make an online donation now! Last year, Volunteer Prince William faced 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, VPW will be glad to provide you with the name and wish list of a child! Please visit bit.ly/485xq6Q to donate on our secure online donation site; email ed@volunteerprincewilliam.org for more information. Thank you for your support!
