Two local girl scouts, Hannah Preston and Mary Kate Eicher have decided to landscape the perimeter of the SERVE complex. At the completion of the project they hope to achieve their silver award, the second highest award in girl scouting.

At the onset of the project, the girls contacted local business owners for donations of plants, soil and paint. Lowes of Gainesville and Buckland farms proved to be very generous in their support of the girls.

Their endeavors included cutting down decorative grasses, weeding, planting flowers around the trees, planting flower boxes near the newly cleaned entrance sign and repairing and repainting a bench in the garden.

The first SERVE group was organized in the homes of concerned citizens. After the original structure was built, it held up to 40 people. The new structure, which was built in June of 2002 can now hold 60 people. The center serves people in Haymarket, Gainesville, parts of Woodbridge and western of Prince William County.

In order to help SERVE grow they need support from local organizations and they look to the community for help. In the main structure of SERVE there are classrooms. These classrooms are used for life skills training, transition training, GED training as well as bible studies.
