Serving Fairfax and Loudoun Counties, we envision a community free of homelessness and domestic violence.
Together, we are Changing Lives!
Our organization was formed in 1981, as a grassroots responder to the homelessness crisis in Fairfax County. Community volunteers from several ecumenical groups joined together to help address the needs of their homeless neighbors. They started by providing direct emergency assistance – items such as blankets, food, and warm clothing were distributed from the trunks of their cars.
