WOODBRIDGE, Va. -- Terry McAuliffe has called for a statewide day of service on Jan. 4 ahead of his inauguration as the 72nd Governor of Virginia.
In Dumfries, the Make The Future organization that works with at-risk youth and college students, and also helped to propel Delegate-Elect Michael Futrell (D-Stafford, Woodbridge) to political prominence as the organization he co-founded, has answered the call.
“Doing our pART, Giving with our heart” is slated to take place Jan. 4 at the Dumfries Boys and Girls Club. The event aims to draw local artists, as well as performance artists, and dancers, to show children the importance of volunteering.
