Fairfax Nonprofits and Charities

My daughter Anna nas lived with CLA for the past 25 years. In that time she has had a full rich life surrounded by friends she loves and a stable, professional staff that fully understands her capabilities and needs. My wife and I are grateful to CLA for all they have done insure that Anna is, as much as possible, a participant in her larger community.

Very responsive volunteers, provided excellent trees about 15 years ago that are still thriving, and also provided more tree saplings in 2024 that are growing great!

I had the great pleasure of serving on the board of Rebuilding Together Arlington/Fairfax/Falls Church for six years. During that time, I witnessed first hand the incredibly deep impact this organization has on the people and communities it serves. It truly changes people’s lives every day by helping ensure they are able to live full, healthy, and safe lives in their homes. They do an incredible job maximizing every dollar they receive by utilizing a largely volunteer-driven service model. The staff are incredible and are deeply dedicated to the people they serve. While my board service with this organization has come to a close, I remain a steadfast supporter of their work.

I really have to say I am quite disappointed. I am not getting my monthly subscription magazine in the mail. The way I see it, it's either, The Post Office is taken it or the NRA is not sending my magazine.

Whipsawing Communication with Volunteers <br> <br>My experience volunteering with Britepaths was disorienting and disappointing. A program manager there initially brought me on board in January 2024 to help out with bilingual office administration 1 afternoon per week, explaining that I could use a spare office occasionally if needed, which I was grateful for because my boss at my full-time job allowed me Wednesday afternoons off to volunteer at Britepaths on the condition that I be available to jump on a call in an emergency. Across roughly 3 visits, I learned various systems and procedures to help out, and took detailed notes that ended up capturing unwritten aspects of several procedures that weren't fully documented. I received no negative feedback or comments. <br> <br>After the 3rd visit, I was notified that the manager I had been working with wasn't at Britepaths any longer. A different, senior program manager, emailed me to express their appreciation for my willingness to volunteer, confirmed their understanding of my one-afternoon-per-week schedule, and asked when I could be available for a continued training session to support the transition after the old manager left. I replied to confirm for the following Thursday afternoon. <br> <br>That Thursday morning, I emailed to confirm I'd be in around 1pm, and received a reply that that week's volunteer work had already been completed, and was asked to come in at my normal time next Wednesday. When I came in next Wednesday afternoon, a 3rd, different Senior Program Manager invited me to their office and explained that my Wednesday afternoon schedule wouldn't work for Britepaths, and suggested I find somewhere else to volunteer. There was no room for further discussion or explanation. I left feeling like they chewed me up and spit me out, and ultimately regret getting involved with Britepaths. The complete 180 from starting onboarding and appreciation to being shown the door, was jarring and unpleasant.

I have known Tom Prichard since the inception of Sudan Sunrise. He is the real deal. He has invested all of himself into this endeavor for almost 2 decades. He cares deeply for the Sudanese people. I know that all donations will be carefully stewarded to make the greatest impact.

End Hunger Network has the insight and capabilities to not just help with hunger in one community, but rearrange the basis for how we evaluate hunger across the United States. The mission and vision of this organization is to work at a higher strategic level in order to create long lasting structural changes in the world of hunger. I very much enjoy working with this organization.

Do your job. get a new Chief. Start respecting the public. Patrol ALL neighborhoods. Stop ignoring reports of teacher repeatedly touching children. Police often turning on sirens to speed through traffic then suddenly turn off and continues on with no emergency. Too many worse things to even mention. Etc etc etc etc etc<br> Citizens paying for bad service, lack of service.

I've been volunteering with GOTR NOVA for the last seven years and I love the program's mission and execution. I believe instilling confidence in young girls is a great way to make the world a better place and, after cheering at the finish line for many end of season 5Ks, I can say that this program really does achieve that goal. The sense of accomplishment when over 2,000 participants, some of whom had certainly never contemplated running 3.1 miles in a go before the season began, achieve the goal they have been working toward for months is so inspiring that I'm always happy to wake up early to be a part of it.

As the founding Executive Director of Infant Massage USA (IMUSA), I have been blessed to be of service to the organization and witness its exponential growth over the years. Our work has been shared with thousands and thousands of parents and babies across the country to help them experience the many benefits of infant massage for babies, parents and their communities. When IMUSA was founded, we energetically reached out to agencies and programs across the country. It has been rewarding to see how we have expanded and have been able to reach more and more families. Our Board has grown over the years and been effective in establishing goal and objective to support the growth. The Staff has worked passionately to achieve the goals and work with the Trainers and Certified Educators of Infant Massage (CEIMs) to provide the needed support. The Board and Staff have made wise decision to effectively move the organization forward and be in tune with the needs of our audience and it’s members. The enthusiasm, encouragement and responsiveness of the staff has built a harmonious atmosphere that spills over through the multiple outlets they have created. <br><br>The talents, skills and communication has brought IMUSA to a stable and productive position to support our mission “so parents and babies feel loved valued and respected through the world community. . <br><br>

I’ve been supporting this ministry for over a decade. The people who work and volunteer there have a passion for life and helping others. You will not find a more caring group of people. They do great work on a small budget.

We love working with BVL! We can designate our funds to go to our local veterans home as well. They do great things for our Veterans and we love them!!

ATTENTION: Ignore the Left-Wing NUT-JOB trolls who come on here and claim that their Conservative, America-Loving Constitutionalist Mother or Father is (are) being "exploited" or "preyed upon" by TCC. The Conservative Council sends fundraising letters to ALL conservatives in their database, whether they are 18 or 118 !!! The leftist cry-babies who claim to be "protecting" their elder parents are actually intercepting their mail, and censoring them in a fashion similar to what the Nazi Zuckerberg has done to many Patriotic Americans who are banned from FakeBook for being a Constitutionalist. Now that that issue is made clear as glass, you can all ignore the 1-star rating and the crying from these America-hating liberals from the racist democRAT party. Amen.

I've worked at OAR for more than 20 years. It is a great organization with great people and an amazing mission.

Insight Memory Care sets the standard for an under-served population of participants requiring some care but not ready to move into a full-time facility. In addition to a day-center IMCC provides education to caregivers which is very needed when it comes to Dementia and Alzheimers care and planning.

Truly securing our liberties fighting back against liberalism plaguing our nation. Best conservative group in the NATION.

The training center has prepared by grand daughter to see God's provision in her life. Recently during a storm she was being dropped off for a swim meet and she felt to ask her dad to move the car further forward. He did. The pole fell exactly where the car was first parked, and she feels would have killed her and her dad. Her comment was: "Six years of praying at school helped me: thank God!"

My company did a food drive with them and they were very helpful when we went to drop off the food, and easy to find. Great cause with very helpful volunteers, even during the holiday season, when people are normally harried.

<br>Through your thoughtfulness, the name of Jimmy McDaniels and his high standards for performance will motivate students for years to come. <br> <br> <br>Bobby Fong, President, Butler University -2000-2010

My daughter's volleyball team wanted to host a fund raising event and chose Breast Cancer for it's charity. The girls searched for a team jersey that would promote the event and found the Side-Out foundation sells it's own shirts and all profits go to Breast Cancer. As a bonus, the jersey t-shirts were available in two colors, so the opposing team could get matching shirts in the opposite color. The professionalism, attention to detail, and promptness of this foundation was phenomenal. The contact person, Rick, worked with me to ensure my satisfaction with the product. I can't wait to send the foundation photos of our event and report how much money we raise for this cause. <br>Top notch experience!

Pathway Homes helps so many individuals in our community. Sadly, in such an affluent area, many live in our woods and on our streets. Pathway Homes has helped so many in our community move off the streets and back into productive lives. Their staff is very compassionate, knowledgeable and will advocate strongly to make sure their clients get the help they need to meet their recovery goals.
