OmniLink switch riders buses at the Potomac Rappahannock Transportation Center in Woodbridge.
As part of its month-long anniversary celebration of service to the community, [the Potomac and Rappahannock Transportation Commission] will host a community give-back event. On Tuesday, Sept/ 27 through Thursday, Sept. 29, PRTC will collect small non-perishables, toiletries and infant care items on the buses.
All donations will be given to two area social service organizations: Action in the Community Through Service (ACTS) and Securing Emergency Resources Through Volunteer Efforts (SERVE).
PRTC passengers may donate by placing items in small collection boxes on the buses. Those who make a donation will receive a free ride coupon from the bus operator as well as an entry form for PRTCâs Community Give Back drawing, which will be held on October 3, 2011. The general public is also encouraged to participate by bringing their donations to the PRTC Transit Center at 14700 Potomac Mills Road, where donors will also receive a free ride coupon and prize drawing entry form. The winner of the random drawing will receive a gift package worth $250 in donated prizes including gift cards to various area businesses and a SmarTrip card pre-loaded with $25 in value.
âBy collecting items on the buses, we can help those in our community who need some assistance,â PRTC Executive Director Alfred H. Harf said. âWhat better way to say âthank youâ to our community than to help those in need?â
PRTC is also holding weekly contests for passengers as well as a month-long trivia contest. Details about the contests and other anniversary events can be found at www.PRTCtransit.org.
