Members of the Port City chapter of the National Charity League, Inc. are committed to community service.
This month, Alexandria mothers and their daughters spent time together helping organizations such as Martha’s Table and Wreaths Across America as members of the local Port City chapter of the National Charity League, Inc.
For more than 50 years, the nonprofit National Charity League, Inc., fosters the mother-daughter relationship in a philanthropic organization committed to community service, leadership development and cultural experiences.
A new chapter was formed in Alexandria last spring called Port City, where the moms and daughters perform community service around the area for different organizations. This new chapter has also worked with the Miracle League of Alexandria and is looking to partner with other local organizations.
The chapter is open to any mothers and their daughters who are in seventh to 12th grade in the Washington, D.C., Alexandria and Springfield areas.
"This organization is different from any others that I have been involved in with my daughter," said Melissa Mueller, president of the Port City Chapter of the National Charity League, Inc. "We spend some quality time together while serving others.”
The chapter is currently holding a membership drive through April 30. Anyone interested should contact Ann Ballard at aballard@mcwb.com to be placed on the email distribution list.
