To kick off our 75 Acts of Kindness, our team raised awareness for the 2 For 2 Foundation by placing lawn signs across all three of our locations in Front Royal, Winchester, and Luray. The 2 For 2 Foundation is an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization focused on developing and maintaining swim and ice-skating facilities, while also creating athletic, educational, and recreational opportunities for the community.

The initiative was started by a group of local volunteers, including many retired educators, who are passionate about supporting long-term community development. Through research conducted alongside Frederick County Parks and Recreation and feedback from Winchester residents, one clear need emerged—greater access to swim and ice-skating facilities for families and future generations.

We’re Proud To Support A Vision That Creates Lasting Opportunities For Families Across The Shenandoah Valley

As part of our 75 Acts of Kindness, our team organized a “Fill The Truck” food drive to support the Winchester Rescue Mission and help address food insecurity in our community. The Winchester Rescue Mission is dedicated to ending homelessness in the Northern Shenandoah Valley by providing shelter, meals, clothing, and long-term support through case-managed programs. Their Center for Men and Center for Women offer individuals a path toward stability and life transformation.

In addition to daily meals served 365 days a year, the organization’s Food Distribution Program provides free boxes of food to individuals and families in need—helping them prepare meals at home and navigate challenging times. This effort was made even stronger through the support of our community partners, who joined the movement by hosting food drives at their own locations—expanding the impact across the region.

We Were Able To Support A Mission That Provides Not Just Food, But Hope, Dignity, And A Path Forward For Those In Need

As part of our 75 Acts of Kindness, our team organized a “Fill The Truck” book drive to support Literacy Volunteers Winchester Area and help expand access to education throughout our community. Literacy Volunteers Winchester Area is a long-standing nonprofit dedicated to strengthening lives through literacy, education, and advocacy. For more than 35 years, they have provided adults with one-on-one and small group instruction in English, reading, writing, citizenship, and computer skills—empowering individuals with the tools they need to succeed.

Their impact extends beyond the classroom through initiatives like the Winchester Little Libraries, which place books throughout the community for anyone to take or share, and their partnership with Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, which provides children from birth to age five with a free book each month.This effort was made possible with the support of our community partner, who joined the movement by hosting a book drive at their own location—helping extend the reach and impact of this initiative.

 A Mission That Promotes Lifelong Learning, Strengthens Families, And Creates Greater Opportunities Across Our Community

As part of our 75 Acts of Kindness, our team volunteered time to assist with landscaping efforts at the Winchester Rescue Mission’s new facility on Valley Avenue—helping maintain and improve a space dedicated to serving those in need. The Winchester Rescue Mission plays a critical role in supporting individuals and families experiencing homelessness across the Northern Shenandoah Valley. In 2021 alone, the organization was forced to turn away more than 475 individuals due to limited capacity, highlighting the growing need for expanded services and facilities.

To meet this need, the mission is actively working to grow its programs, staff, and physical space—creating more opportunities to provide shelter, meals, and long-term support to those seeking stability and a fresh start. By giving our time and effort, we were proud to support an organization that is making a meaningful difference in the lives of so many in our community.
