Monday, January 19th has been designated a National Day of Service as part of the inaugural events. Whatever your political persuasion hopefully we can all agree that people stepping up to help in their communities is a good thing.

I've got two events posted for Fauquier County. I believe they're the only two events listed locally.

To find out about helping with the Fauquier County Food Distribution:

To find out about helping with a local food drive:

I'm disappointed that there aren't more local activities. Surely there's enough work to be done locally that no one should have to drive to Chantilly, or Sterling or Leesburg to participate!

So, if you know anyone involved in a local charity and think they may be able to find a way to use this even, please encourage them to get it on the website.

If they need a little help figuring out how to do that I'm happy to lend my services.

And, I hope lots of you will participate in one of the events!
