Join Project Play for Play Dates in Alexandria
@aishakasmirCome play with us at playgrounds across Alexandria! 
Community at Play is a series of play dates to get parents and children to experience local playgrounds you haven't heard about yet or that have been recently improved thanks to the Project Play Spruce Up Grants. Each event will have different activities like bubble blowing, sprinklers and more.
The Alexandria Childhood Obesity Action Network (A-COAN) and ACTion Alexandria launched the Project Play initiative this year to raise awareness about the importance of play and improve play environments for more than 6,000 Alexandria children. The goal of Project Play is to ensure that all children in Alexandria have access to a safe place to play.
We'll be playing at the following locations so mark your calendars and bring the family for lots of fun!
- Four Mile Run Park, September 20th, 5:00-6:30
- Holmes Run Park, September 25th, 5:00-6:30
- Brent Place, TBA
- Angel Park, TBA
- Fields of Duke, TBA
- Seminary Towers, TBA
All events are free and refreshments will be provided.
Come help kick off inauguration weekend with a celebration to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and volunteer! On Saturday, January 19th, hundreds of volunteers will assist nonprofit agencies providing services to people in need as well as provide educational activities to children and youth. In Alexandria, volunteers are needed to assist children and teenagers creating a story book. Volunteers are needed for set up, registration, implementing arts and crafts projects, clean up, and much more. Adult volunteers are needed to facilitate discussion groups with a smaller group of children. Interested adults should contact Jason Ellis at 
On Tuesday September 4th, the transformation of one of Community Lodgings’ five apartment buildings will begin – a full-fledged renovation! When I took over as Executive Director seven years ago, I set a long-term goal to ensure all our families lived in safe, comfortable homes. Over the years, out of sheer financial necessity, I was forced to take a “band-aid” approach to building repairs. Seven years later, with help from HomeAid Northern Virginia, Pulte Homes and the City of Alexandria, our long-term goal becomes reality.
