Putting Feet to Our Prayers

 

Unity of Fairfax’s outreach ministry, known as the  Community Service Team, provides opportunities to contribute to the well-being of others, locally and globally, through generosity, service and understanding.

  • We need volunteers for individual projects. These are typically a one-month commitment and take only a few hours a week.
  • We welcome new projects and ideas on how to better serve the world around us.
    • Use the online Volunteer Form and check the "Community Service" Area of Interest.

Service Project

Back to School

The Back to School program is a compassionate initiative aimed at collecting donated school supplies for children living in poverty.

Running from July 14 through July 28, this program ensures that every child has the necessary tools to succeed in the upcoming school year. While it may seem too early to think about back-to-school preparations, planning ahead is essential to meet the needs of these children. With the final collection date set for August 4, community members have ample time to contribute items such as backpacks, notebooks, pencils, and other educational essentials.

By participating in the Back to School program, donors can make a significant difference in the lives of underprivileged students, fostering an environment where every child has the opportunity to thrive academically.

Purchase some of the supplies from the lists below and return to Unity no later than August 4.

The Community Service Team is nothing without its reliance on volunteers to carry out it’s mission:

Volunteers inspire and engage Unity of Fairfax in connection with our community through generosity, service and understanding.
 

When people are financially invested, they want a return. When people are emotionally invested, they want to contribute - Simon Sinek
