By giving, you ensure that no one is turned away in their time of need and that ACTS can continue building a stronger, more compassionate community for all.

IWALK 2025 is an annual fundraising and community engagement event organized by ACTS (Action in Community Through Service). It typically includes a charity walk, family-friendly activities, entertainment, and opportunities for the community to learn more about ACTS' mission and services. The event serves as a major fundraiser, helping to support ACTS’ emergency assistance programs, crisis helplines, food assistance, housing services, and domestic violence and sexual assault services.
After the holidays, giving often slows—but the need in Prince William County rises. From January through March, families face food insecurity, rising housing costs, and increased crisis calls. Our goal is to raise $35,000 to keep tables full, protect survivors, and support neighbors during the hardest season. Your gift ensures seniors receive home deliveries, families stay housed, and those in crisis find safety and hope. Together, we can make sure no one faces winter alone.

Fifty years ago, ACTS’ founders began by addressing the most basic human needs of food and shelter. They established Prince William County’s first food bank, set up a used furniture distribution system, and developed a homeless shelter in local churches. From these beginnings grew the Hunger Prevention Center, utility assistance program, two homeless shelters, and a permanent housing program. Services now also include comprehensive prevention and intervention programs to address domestic violence, sexual abuse and assault, and suicide, as well as a 24-hour anonymous crisis telephone service.
