Action In Community through Service

Action in Community Through Service (ACTS) is a private, nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization serving the residents of the Greater Prince William Area, which includes the Cities of Manassas and Manassas Park. ACTS has a budget of $3 million, 80 employees, and hundreds of volunteers.
