In honor of the National Day of Service The Catch A Program will host a Pantry Love Diaper Drive on Monday, January 18, 2021 from 1PM-4PM at The Jameson at Kincora. Pantry Love is a program that allows local community members and organizations to come together and collect items that are most needed in the community. 1 in 5 families in the DMV-area lives below the Federal Poverty Level and 0% of diaper needs are covered by food stamps and assistance programs (SNAP and WIC)s. Join us by donating diapers to help keep babies clean, dry and healthy.
The event will take place at The Jameson at Kincora 20725 Wood Quay Drive Sterling, VA 20166.
Help babies in need and struggling families in our community.
In accordance with local CDC guidelines, all donations will be received via a drive-through system that allows for social distancing. People will need to remain in their vehicles as volunteers unload their donations from their vehicles.

During an emergency, no matter how quickly emergency professionals respond, the individuals on-scene are best positioned to assist and potentially stop life-threatening blood loss. This is critical because a person who is bleeding profusely can die from blood loss within five minutes.
As part of the national Stop the Bleed campaign, the Inova Virts Miller Family Emergency and Trauma Center at Inova Loudoun Hospital hosts free courses designed for community members who may find themselves at the scene of an emergency. Course attendees will enhance their emergency preparedness by learning the difference between bleeding and life-threatening blood loss, and how to react to both.
Complete an online education course at your convenience, and then join INOVA staff on Monday, Nov. 15 for an in-person skills training workshop where you’ll experience hands-on practice with tourniquets and wound packing. Practicing these skills will give you a deeper understanding of what it means to Stop the Bleed and the confidence to help someone in an emergency.
