Volunteerism is a powerful force for solving community problems, a creative use of human resources, and essential for a healthy, productive, and engaged society.  

The Community Service Day, hosted by Volunteer Alexandria in partnership with the City of Alexandria, is a service event where hundreds of volunteers come together as individuals and as teams to complete 20+ service projects for nonprofits across the City. From building vegetable gardens to alleviate food insecurity, to sorting food at a food bank, to landscaping a shelter, every hour contributed on this Community Service Day improves the lives of Alexandrians.  

Supporting Community Service Day as a fundraiser or as a donor will help Volunteer Alexandria recruit, coordinate, manage, and prepare volunteers to give their time and talent to local nonprofit agencies in need of human capital. Your support allows these nonprofits to focus on their missions of conquering Alexandria's great community challenges with the assistance of ready, willing, and able volunteers.

Great prizes for top individual and team fundraisers including tour and beer tasting from Port City Brewing Company, a two night weekend stay with breakfast at the Sheraton Suites Alexandria; wine tastings at Barrel Oak Winery; Gift certificate from Bittersweet Catering, a one-night stay at the Hotel Indigo Old Town Alexandria, Belle isle Moonshine mixing drinks, donuts for the team from Sugar Shack, and much more.

All volunteers are being invited to the after party 4:30-6:30 p.m. at the new workplace at Industrious Office at 2461 Eisenhower Ave building. Food provided by Meggrolls, Harris Teeter, Pork Barrel BBQ, and Cabot Cheese Creamery.
