Alexandria, VA – Mount Vernon at Home (MVAH) is a special organization whose mission is to build a village of caring friends and volunteers; one well positioned to support the lifetime independence of our members. Our annual fundraiser has a Garden Party theme this year and will be held Friday, May 15 at Mount Vernon Country Club (5111 Old Mill Rd.) from 4 to 6 p.m. A three-course dinner with wine will be served. A live auction will featuring dining and shopping packages. Details can be found at mountvernonathome.org. Simply click Celebrate 2025.
At the heart of Mount Vernon at Home are our member programs and services, all provided by caring volunteers. Members can receive services such as transportation to the grocery store, physician visits, help with home maintenance, IT needs, and other errands. Many social activities are offered such as book and movie clubs, happy hours and dining out.
MVAH was founded 16 years ago by a group of residents who looked at the Beacon Hill (Boston) model and launched a local village here. We are part of a Village network, now more than 300 villages across the country.
We hope you will join us for this festive event. We are also always looking for volunteers, so if you are interested in helping seniors in the Mount Vernon area, please check out our website.
