Adopt A Senior/Adult Holiday Program
During the 2008 holiday season MOW was proud to have partnered with the Fauquier County Department of Social Services to support our local seniors through the Adopt A Senior/Adult Holiday Program. The program matches local residents and organizations with local seniors and other qualifying adults, in order to bring a few gifts and a lot of cheer to their holiday season. Thanks to the generosity of our members, MOW was able to brighten the holiday season for over 3 dozen adults and seniors. Additionally, a variety of Fauquier churches, organizations, and indivudual citizens teamed up to provide gifts to over 300 deserving seniors in all. Many thanks to everyone who contributed!
March of Dimes
The 2010 March of Dimes Walk for Babies was held April 17 at the Airlie Center. "Team MOW 2010" is proud to have raised a total of $1905 for this year's walk. Premature birth is the #1 cause of newborn death and the biggest threat to babies' health today, and through March for Babies, the March of Dimes is funding important research to find out why premature birth happens and what can be done to prevent it.
"Team MOW 2009" featured 20 walkers and raised $2,258.
What can we do in 2011???
