• Parking Instructions – When you enter the lot, please go to the right and to the back of the HRC to the loading dock where staff and volunteers will assist you with unloading your donations. Please do not park in the front circle as we leave that open for clients.
• Students and families at participating Prince William County Public Schools can bring their donations to their respective schools. All other donations should be dropped off at the Hunger Resource Center.

2. DONATE FUNDS ONLINE

Note: Spring Food Drive donations benefit families in Prince William County and the cities of Manassas and Manassas Park. Please note, should contributions for Spring Food Drive exceed our budgeted need, gifts will be directed to where they are needed most to help children and families living in poverty throughout Northern Virginia.
