Opportunity Place is located at 2708-B South Nelson in Shirlington. Volunteers assist with projects such as organizing and sorting clothing donations, assisting or mentoring clients, and assisting with administrative tasks such as filing, data entry, and research. Help the Homeless Walkathon Volunteers can participate on behalf of A-SPAN in the annual 5K Help the Homeless Walkathon, held every year in November on the Saturday before Thanksgiving. In 2001, there is also a Community Walk in Arlington on Sunday, October 28 at Barcroft Park. These are wonderful events, as thousands of people gather together in support of homeless people.
Young kids can hold miniwalks, too.
We need some volunteers for the Tenth Anniversary Party Planning Committee. The party will be held November 3, 2001. We will also need volunteers on the day of the event to help with logistics. You Can Help You can become a part of the solution to end homelessness by volunteering at one of A-SPAN'S programs. Your help does make a difference.
