No. We need lots of help but we do have some restrictions on volunteers. We accept volunteers 16yrs and older. You must fill out an application and agree to a background check. LEARN MORE

Younger volunteers can serve with their families during our special events such as our Campaign to End Hunger or Christmas with Mercy for specific shifts. LEARN MORE

Unfortunately we cannot provide emergency rent/utility assistance. We offer other services such as food and clothing which can be found here. Please contact Prince William County’s Coordinated Entry Services for more information and resources on emergency assistance. 

You can just come in any day we are open! We require ID and proof of address, so it will be helpful to bring that when you come. No appointments are necessary. LEARN MORE

Our biggest need (other than cash!) is always food for our food pantry. We are especially low during the summer and late winter/early spring. 

Our second biggest need is customers! Help us spread the word about our Thrift Store. 100% of the sales go towards our mission of helping those in need. 

Our third largest need is volunteers. We are always in need of help in many different ways to keep this mission running.

Last, but not least, we need your prayers! This mission cannot happen without lots of prayer and of course the grace of God! 

We accept many donations but we do have some guidelines and there are some items we cannot accept. Please visit our donation page for more information. LEARN MORE
