Prince William SHRM Volunteers in Support of Boxes of Basics to Help Local Children in Need
Manassas, VA, October 24, 2024 – The Prince William Society for Human Resource Management (PWSHRM) engaged in a volunteer service activity at Boxes of Basics, a Manassas-based nonprofit dedicated to providing essential clothing to children in need. On October 23, 2024, PWSHRM members gathered at Boxes of Basics’ warehouse to help sort clothing and pack customized care boxes for local children, contributing to the organization’s ongoing efforts to support underserved families in the community.
Boxes of Basics was founded to meet the essential clothing needs of children facing economic hardship. The organization assembles personalized "boxes" that include seasonally appropriate clothing, shoes, and accessories for each child. These boxes provide comfort, dignity, and warmth to children, many of whom are navigating difficult circumstances.
“The work Boxes of Basics does is critical to our community, and we were honored to be part of their mission,” said Keri Purtell, Chapter President of PWSHRM. “Our members are committed to making a difference both professionally and personally, and this volunteer opportunity allowed us to give back in a meaningful way.”
