Our work makes a difference

"The two groups of summer campers collectively prepared enough dinners for FACETS to serve 275 meals. On top of that, the campers spent time thinking about the community's specific needs and prepared healthy and delicious options.  They clearly understood how important it was to give people the respect and dignity every human deserves!" 

"The campers are such a wonderful group and give me great hope for how our community will change as they start being leaders!" -- Suzanne Hough, Volunteer Manager, FACETS.

• Made nearly 200 gifts and 150 cards for senior citizens
• Made 110 meals for distribution

 "I am a nurse at Inova..on Monday I was having a difficult day at work.  I was going from one task to another and it was becoming late and I was tired and hungry. Suddenly I see a nurse handing out bags and I received one and looked in and gave a sigh of relief.  I see a nurse handing out bags and I received one. I am writing to thank the children...and to let them know that it made all the difference to me that day." 

"We received the loveliest gift boxes from
