Join the Virginia Department of Corrections for this Lunch & Learning session to learn about the impactful work of ACTS - Action in Community Through Services.
ACTS is an independent, private nonprofit serving Greater Prince William Area residents, including the cities of Manassas and Manassas Park, and the Towns of Haymarket, Occoquan, Quantico, and Dumfries, where their main offices are located. More than fifty years ago, ACTS began by providing essential food and shelter, establishing Prince William County’s first food bank and a furniture distribution system, and developing homeless shelters. Today, ACTS offer various services, including the Hunger Prevention Center, Thrift Store, utility assistance, and permanent housing.
ACTS offers domestic violence and sexual assault services, including court and hospital accompaniment and support services. Their programs also address domestic violence and sexual abuse, supported by a 24-hour anonymous crisis line. ACTS educates the community on these issues by fostering hope, providing relief, and promoting self-sufficiency for neighbors in crisis.
