Community Work Looks Like This!
(And she Cleaned the Upstairs Offices Too!)
Thank You Erica!
MCC of Northern Virginia will be receiving this Proclamation
on behalf of TGEA and the Community At Large on March 24 at 7 PM at the Fairfax City Hall (10445 Armstrong Street)
Proclaiming March 31 as Transgender Day of Visibility.
Trans… Significant Others… Allies… Please make plans to attend!
We would like as many folks supporters and allies there as possible!
People often say,
“What Can I Do To Support?
The answer is THIS: Witness With Your Presence.
Can We Have More Support Than Last Year?
During these times Visibility is a revolutionary act of both Courage and Resistance.

While MCC NoVA has always contributed financially to FACETS, a nonprofit that aims to help meet the needs of those who suffer the effects of poverty and homelessness in Fairfax, we also actively contribute by physically assisting with the feeding of the homeless in Fairfax City, as well as helping to provide for their other needs, thanks to Team Leaders … and perhaps you? Volunteers welcome!
HOMELESS MINISTRY NEEDS:
Bananas, Applesauce Cups, Apple Juice, Tangerines, Feminine Toiletries, Socks, Wash Cloths, etc.
Please bring these items to the church by the end of this month so they can be distributed the 1st Sunday of next month.
