Our art therapy groups are a place to express yourself, connect with others, and discover the therapeutic power of creativity. Today’s session will be led by Julie, one of our art therapist interns from George Washington University.

To prepare: It is advised that you wear clothes you wouldn’t mind possibly getting stained.

Meet up: We’ll meet in the lobby-level community room at Queens Court. A key fob is needed to access the building, so please message the Queens Court Whatsapp group upon arrival if you need to be let in.

Parking: Paid street parking is available nearby Queens Court. There is no free guest parking at this time.

Weather Cancellation: In case of unsafe weather conditions, an announcement will be made on Whatsapp at least 2 hours prior to the start of the outdoor event.

Contact: We will communicate changes of plans via Whatsapp, so please join the Movie Night Whatsapp group to receive important event updates and stay in touch.

Accomodations: At OSG, our staff are not direct service providers, so we ask that each participant attending an event brings any personal support they may need for their well-being and engagement. This may include, but is not limited to, caregivers, communication partners, or mobility aids. That said, with prior notice, we can arrange group-wide accommodations during event planning. These might include ensuring wheelchair-accessible routes or selecting allergen-safe menus. Additional accommodations are available upon request, though they may not be listed here. To discuss your specific needs and help us make our events more inclusive, please contact us at claudet@ourstompingground.org with the subject line “Accomodation Request.”

*Note: Sign-up is mandatory. Please RSVP so we know to expect you.

Celebrate National Good Neighbor Day by volunteering to help bag and sort food with Arlington Food Assistance Center (AFAC). Every week, AFAC distributes groceries to families in need in Arlington, VA. Together, we can be the good neighbors that everyone deserves!

RSVP Deadline: In order to provide AFAC with an accurate number of volunteers in advance of 9/28, we are only accepting RSVPs to participate in this event until Wednesday, 9/25. You must register early if you want to volunteer together!

Meet up: At 8:50 am, we will meet outside of the AFAC warehouse (2708 S Nelson St Arlington, VA 22206), specifically to the side of the loading dock. It’s important to be on time because we need our entire group to be present before we start our volunteering shift at 9am.

To prepare: Everyone MUST wear closed-toe shoes (sneakers are a great option). Please bring a hat or head covering and wear comfortable clothes; we also provide hairnets and gloves.

**We won’t know our specific volunteering task beforehand, but we will either be bagging produce, bagging and sealing dry goods, or sorting and checking donated food. A volunteer supervisor or staff member will give us detailed instructions once we arrive.**

Weather Cancellation: In case of unsafe weather conditions, an announcement will be made on Whatsapp at least 2 hours prior to the start of the in-person event.
