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.

Organized by the Historic Waterford Foundation, this in-person walking tour will focus on the history and architecture of the village of Waterford, focusing on Black History Sites. Waterford was within the part of Loudoun County known as the Underground Railroad route. It was also a haven for free Blacks. Settled by Quakers, the village offered more opportunities for African Americans than most other places in the south. Black historic sites in the village are numerous, and include Second Street School, a one-room school funded by Quakers; a Freedmen’s Bureau which served Black residents from 1867 to 1957; and the John Wesley Methodist Episcopal Church, a Gothic Revival church built by and for African Americans in 1891. The town has many other well preserved homes and workplaces where free and enslaved African Americans lived and worked.
The tour is organized and conducted by the non-profit Waterford Foundation, which has played an important role in revitalizing Waterford and providing information and tours for the public.
Open to the public.
Tickets $20, $15 for Children ages 12 and under. Registration required
