Tuesday, 03 Aug 2021

Hilda Barg served on the Prince William Board of County Supervisors from 1987 to 2007 where she represented residents of the Woodbridge Magisterial District. Throughout her five-terms on the board, Barg focused on providing easier access to social services for people in need, through her work on various commissions and committees.

Since her retirement from the board, Barg has served 13 years as an active member of the Prince William County Department of Social Services Administrative Advisory Boards and led the 2014 transition to the current Prince William County Social Services Advisory Board, where she has served as chair for the last seven years.

The Prince William Board of County Supervisors recently commended Barg for her years of service to county residents and her commitment to the well-being, prosperity and best interests of the people of Prince William County.

Barg, a Prince William County native, created the County’s first homeless shelter for families, now known as the Hilda Barg Homeless Prevention Center.

Barg regularly attends board meetings where she actively participates in the proclaiming of Child Abuse Prevention Month, Foster Care Month and Elder Abuse Awareness Month and honorably represents the county each year at the National Adoption Day Celebration at the 31st District Court.

The commendation recognized Barg as a “knowledgeable and compassionate advocate for the most vulnerable in our community,” who has “imparted that knowledge and passion to so many other members of the Department of Social Services Advisory Board.”
