Are you the person who actually enjoys organizing, cleaning and putting things in order? 🧹 📦✨

Put those skills to work this year during 9/11 Day of Service with The Arc of Hanover! Volunteers will work alongside trained staff to help organize and prepare donations at the thrift store — unpacking boxes, sorting items, checking that donations are in working condition and getting everything ready for its next chapter. 🛍️

Your time helps The Arc of Hanover advocate for inclusion, connect families and strengthen support for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. 💙

Hanover County Public Works' Route 360 Widening Project was selected as a 2026 VTCA Engineering Award winner! 🏆

The team's effort and ex*****on of a project that had been under development since the 1990s is heralded for its ability to "deliver major infrastructure improvements while keeping a community connected and moving."

All of us on extend a round of applause for the entire team involved with a project that was less than perfect at times. Their commitment to accomplishing their goal the right way has resulted in something all residents can benefit from and be proud of. 👏

Were you a Girl Scout? Or maybe you simply believe in making the world a better place — one project at a time?

This year’s 9/11 Day of Service is an opportunity to give back by helping revitalize and beautify a local Memorial Garden. Volunteers will roll up their sleeves to cut back brush and weeds, re-mulch the garden, clean bricks and help restore the space. 🌱🧹🌸

It’s a hands-on project for anyone who enjoys working outdoors and seeing the difference their hard work can make. Girl Scouts build girls of courage, confidence and character who make the world a better place. Help us carry that spirit of service forward.

Gather your friends, family or fellow former Girl Scouts and join us for 9/11 Day of Service. Together, we can honor the past, care for our community and leave Hanover a little better than we found it.

Good with your hands? Love putting things together? Want to give back to your community? 🔨

This year’s 9/11 Day of Service is a chance to roll up your sleeves and make a lasting impact in Hanover County’s parks! 🌳

We’re looking for volunteers to help assemble picnic tables and trash cans that will support our parks, create better spaces for kids and families, and help keep Hanover green. 💚

These projects may not sound flashy, but they’re the kind of hands-on work that makes a real difference — and you’ll get to see the results of your service for years to come!

Help us support Hanover County Parks and Recreation and its mission to provide high-quality parks and recreational resources for our community. Grab a friend, put your skills to work and serve your community on 9/11.

Sign up today and help us build something good for Hanover ➡️ https://www.cfengage.org/hanover-911-day-of-service.

🤝 MCEF has followed one mission for 50 years — to help Mechanicsville residents in need.

36 churches make up MCEF - Mechanicsville Churches Emergency Functions and this year has been a celebration of all of their contributions to residents through food and clothing donations.

Beekeeping is part science, part art and a way of life for Michael Sandridge.

Sandridge and Sons Honey is a Hanover County staple at farmers markets, but the business provides more than just a sweet treat to our residents and beyond. The education behind how bees operate and why it's important to protect them is the legacy the Sandridge family really hope to leave behind.
