FACETS

In 1988, Linda Wimpey and the visionary volunteers who founded FACETS pledged that no neighbor would go unnoticed or unrecognized in Fairfax County. It was a promise to listen, to help, to care, and to serve neighbors in distress. FACETS provides life-saving and transformational services to those in crisis, but we cannot do it without your help! Our Hot Meals program and food distributions are seeing more and more attendees, and our family shelters are operating at 250% capacity. Any gift amount helps and goes directly towards supporting our neighbors in crisis. Thank you for your support!

THE WOMEN'S CENTER

Since The Women’s Center was founded in 1974, we have grown to include services to clients of all gender identities, families, young adults, and children. We now serve over 3,000 people annually at our two locations in Virginia and Washington, DC, and in partner locations. Functioning as a teaching institution for mental health professionals, we provide one of the largest, most prestigious, and most competitive training programs in the region.

As a nonprofit organization, The Women’s Center relies on philanthropic support to offer subsidized and free care and support to people in need in the community.
