FAQs
Who are the professionals?
“Professional” is a broad definition for those in our community who work directly with families in crisis. This may include school and county social workers, teachers, police officers, parole counselors, resettlement agencies, the health department, counselors, doctors, nurses, among so many others. Professionals are working directly with people in difficult circumstances to help families maintain a sustainable living.
During the pandemic, we were inspired by so many professionals who were working outside the scope of their required job responsibilities to help families in crisis. We heard so many stories, from teachers buying groceries and dropping them off at students’ homes to counselors shopping on Christmas Eve, that we wanted to share the wealth of the financial burden to support professionals caring for these families.
What are the resources?
The resources in our center are meant for supplemental purposes and not as ongoing support services for families. The Northern Virginia area has numerous social service agencies and opportunities for families to get connected with professionals who can help. It is important for families to connect to these services so that they can work with a case worker toward sustainability.
Resources include groceries (perishables and non-perishables), hygiene items, household essentials, cleaning supplies, diapers and clothing.
How do requests work?
Let’s jump right to it. We are so excited to work with you!
First, complete the request form below with your professional name, professional email, agency, and cell phone.
Second, through the request form, we’ll ask for generic information about the family so we can pull together enough resources for the size and age range of the family. Next, we will ask you to let us know your availability to pick up the resources. All of these details will be confirmed over email/text before you arrive. Please make sure you receive this email/text before coming to the Resource Center.
Can Fairfax deliver to my clients?
No.We recognize that professionals hold relationship and trust with families, but not necessarily the budget to support all of their clients. We believe that providing professionals with supplemental resources relieves some of the stress so that you can better serve families toward sustainability. Therefore, we prefer that you pick up from our center which is open Monday through Thursday 9:00am – 5:00pm and Sunday mornings, by appointment. We can make arrangements for a delivery to be made to you per request in our form.
