On Sep. 10, the Greater Washington Community Foundation (GWCF) announced a pilot program offering $1,000 to Bradbury Heights Elementary students for each year of school they complete, to be paid out after graduating high school. These funds can be used for education, business, or real estate: giving the students a flexible investment for their future selves. (Courtesy of Greater Washington Community Foundation)

Prince George’s County Local Updates

by Richard D. Elliott September 18, 2024September 18, 2024

Prince George’s County residents are raising concerns about firefighter response times and trash pick-up, prompting local officials to host town halls and meet with community members to address the issues.

BurnBox, a Black-owned pizza shop with locations in Largo and Waldorf, gave away free slices for families on Aug. 26 for the new school year. Owner Ryan Whitfield (pictured with a customer) is planning a future holiday giveaway to help those in need, and prides himself on his support for the community as much as for the quality of his pizzas.
