The Grace Tutoring Program has been an active part of our church for over 30 years. The program has helped over 600 children from Crestwood and Garfield Elementary Schools, by developing a caring relationship between students and church volunteers. Each student meets with the same volunteer, who becomes a special mentor and homework helper for one hour every Monday evening (except school holidays) from October through May.

We are looking for committed tutors and subs for the new school year. If interested in volunteering or if you just want to learn more, please contact Mary Hawkins.

Volunteers are needed to distribute weekend lunch kits to families at Crestwood Elementary at dismissal on Fridays. The lunch kits help provide weekend meals for children when they are not receiving school lunches over the weekend, and is one way to support neighborhood families facing food insecurity.

Contact the church office to volunteer.

The Help the Homeless meet-up group usually meets on the last Saturday of the month in Wester Hall. Folks from all over the NOVA/DC area put together backpacks containing a hygiene kit, paper towels, plastic container, mouthwash, a sack lunch, and a Bible. These backpacks are taken to DC and parts of Fairfax County to distribute directly to the homeless.
