Family Volunteer Day
Every year on the Saturday before Thanksgiving, Volunteer Alexandria hosts a Family Volunteer Day, participating in a global day of service that celebrates the power of families who work together to support our community, and we invite you to be part of it. By volunteering, even the youngest child learns how a small positive act can make a significant difference by showing empathy, kindness, and gratitude to others.
For November 21, 2026, we're offering two service locations. Register for the site that works best for your family!
Family Volunteer Day 2026 - Casa Chirilagua
Family Volunteer Day 2026 - Patrick Henry Rec Center
We will complete hands-on service projects to support our upcoming toy drive that benefits Alexandria families. Activities include creating gift tags and wrapping paper, and creating seasonal decor to make the event welcoming for all. Participants are welcome to bring a new, unwrapped toy in support of the drive.
A $10 donation is greatly appreciated to help us run this event.
