In 2015, DoAnne “Annie” Dodd and her husband Douglas founded All Blessings Flow (ABF), a nonprofit that provides free medical equipment to people in Charlottesville, Albemarle, and surrounding counties. And now every Thursday, from 10 a.m. until noon, a trailer filled with donated medical supplies arrives in Louisa and sets up in The Point Church’s parking lot so volunteers can distribute needed and requested materials.

Susan Purks’ effort to help veterans and their families began as a small, self-funded initiative to serve roughly 40 veteran families in the Spotsylvania community. It later blossomed into a full-fledged non-profit organization known as Simply Angels. The organization, which has been recognized by Virginia Delegate Bobby Orrock, assists over 300 veterans and their families in Hanover, Louisa, Spotsylvania, Caroline, Stafford, and King George counties, as well as in the city of Fredericksburg and the town of Colonial Beach.
