Help Provide Thanksgiving Meals for Families in Need

The Falls Church Community Service Council, Inc. (FCS), established in 1969, is a coalition of human service organizations and faith communities in the greater Falls Church area.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to provide emergency food and rental assistance to individuals and families in the Falls Church community. Assistance provided is for short-term and emergency needs with the overall goal of helping neighbors in need by increasing food and housing security.

While our area has re-emerged from Covid and indicators of economic recovery are clear, things have not improved equally for everyone. Inflation is hitting families hard, making it challenging for people to meet their basic needs and forcing families to make difficult decisions in order to get by.

The Capital Area Food Bank’s 2023 Hunger Report found that our region is still experiencing elevated levels of food insecurity post-pandemic. Food insecurity is defined by the United States Department of Agriculture as “the lack of access, at times, to enough food for an active, healthy life” and is associated with numerous negative social and health outcomes. In Fairfax County, a staggering 24% of residents are food insecure.

Thanks to the gifts our community gives – whether in time, money, or support of our mission – FCS is able to provide tangible assistance to reduce hunger and food insecurity and to assist financially with rent and utilities, helping our neighbors avoid eviction and keep the lights on.
