Volunteer Alexandria

During these difficult times, where many are isolated, we want people to feel the warmth and togetherness that they might during a typical year while addressing food insecurity brought on by the COVID pandemic. All cards will be sent, along with a $50 Safeway gift card, to veterans in the DC/VA area. Cards should be homemade and on theme with Valentine's Day. This is a time to get creative! If you're not sure what to write on the cards, something simple like "Happy Valentine's Day!" is perfect. Please mail finished cards to our office at 700 Princess St #206, Alexandria, VA 22314. Feel free to contact our Outreach Coordinator, James Anderson, with any questions.
