Review for Action In Community Through Service of Prince William County, Dumfries, VA, USA
As small business owners, when my wife Renee and I moved to the area, we didn't know a soul. Our business exists (in part) to make a difference in the lives of our employees - to provide great jobs, and opportunities to grow in ways they might not find other places. We get involved. We want to make a difference. So when some members of our team found themselves in crisis, we didn't know where to turn to connect them to the resources they needed. That's where ACTS came in. ACTS is an organization that 'walks the talk' and provides immediate, quality, and fiscally responsible services to people in need. They stand between the brokenness of this world and those in need throughout our community. We've gone to them over and over for needs we become aware of in the community and they have ALWAYS come through. I fell in love with the mission of ACTS so much that I decided to become a Board member. ACTS is woven into the fabric of our community, and Prince William County is brighter because of it. - Paul Jones, owner of FirstLight Home Care and Proud ACTS Board Member
Review for Action In Community Through Service of Prince William County, Dumfries, VA, USA
As a small business owner in Prince William County, our employees are an extension of our family. And sometimes they are thrust into crises that no one saw coming. When they hurt, we hurt with them - but with over 75 employees, we can't always be there in the way we want to. That's when we turn to ACTS. From the day we opened our doors, ACTS has been a vital partner in service to our community when folks fall on hard times or experience emotional or relational problems. The leadership and dedication of the staff are second to none. As a social worker for nearly 30 years, I know firsthand how hard it is to align a complex human service organization towards a mission as powerful as ACTS - and they've done it for 50 years! That's why I jumped at the chance to serve on the Board of DIrectors, and constantly look for opportunities to serve the mission of ACTS. If you or someone you know is hurting, or looking for a place to invest their time or resources, then look no further than ACTS.
