ise Up Prince William held their 3rd Annual Walk for Prince William.
The 36.5-mile walk throughout Prince William county took participants just over 13 hours to complete.
According to a release, the walk began at the Wegman’s in Woodbridge and ended Quality Business Engineering headquarters in Haymarket.
The event participants were able to raise more than 20,000 pounds of food and supply donations for the community.
“As I walked across the County, I was truly amazed and humbled by the generosity and the spirit of community service shown by the people of Prince William County.  From all the volunteers, to those who happily bought groceries to support those in need, we are blessed to live in an area where people care about helping others.  I want to thank everyone who helped make the Walk for Prince William a success again this year,” said Supervisor Pete Candland in a release.
