Williamsburg Faith In Action

We have a CARING community! Click the article to see Peninsula Virginia Peninsula Foodbank and Sentara Health work together to address food insecurity.

These beautiful flowers are brought to you by Frank, a kindhearted Care Receiver who made these arrangements and dropped them off at the office last week. He was making them for a wedding so he made extras; one for the staff and one for our volunteer Michelle!
Today is a great day to share joy and smiles like Frank! 💐🌸🌼🪻💛💙

Have you seen this helpful series of posts from Williamsburg Police Department - Williamsburg, VA? Unfortunately, scams tend to target older adults and seniors. Please take advantage of the helpful information out there and protect yourself and your loved ones.

Scammers are sending fake payment invoices with urgent language to trick you into opening a malicious Excel attachment.

Here's how to stay safe:

1️⃣ Be wary of emails that create urgency or fear with phrases like "as soon as possible" or "penalties."
2️⃣ Never click "Enable Editing" or "Enable Content" on unexpected attachments.
3️⃣ Always verify invoices or payment requests by contacting the company directly using known contact information.

Stay vigilant and protect your personal information! 💻🔒

Faith In Action provides access to healthcare and wellness for the men (and women) we serve. We will be wearing some teal blue on Friday!
