MISSION, VISION & HISTORY.

Our Mission

As an expression of God’s love and a demonstration of the gospel of Jesus Christ, Western Fairfax Christian Ministries provides food and financial support to those at risk of hunger and homelessness.

Our Vision

We envision a community where everyone is housed and fed and experiences God’s love.

Our History

Western Fairfax Christian Ministries (WFCM), the anchor community-based organization in Region 4 of Fairfax County, provides food and financial support to families at risk of hunger and homelessness in 9 zip codes in western Fairfax County (Centreville, Chantilly, Clifton, Fairfax, Fairfax Station, Herndon, and Oak Hill).

In 1987, volunteers from 12 churches saw the need for coordinated aid and formed WFCM. Thirty-five years later, our primary programs are our Client Choice Food Pantry and Emergency Financial Services Program (assisting with rent, mortgage, and utility bills) serving an average of 500 families/month, 4,000 individuals/year.

OUR
PARTNERS.

WFCM is blessed to have partnered with some of our area's most philanthropic businesses and impactful non-profits. If you name one of our services, chances are that we will be able to reply ,"We have a partner who assists us in that endeavor."

From food and diaper donations, utility assistance, free financial classes, food drives, and more, our partners support us in every way they can. Among them are:

Britepaths - We partner with Britepaths, a complementary nonprofit, to provide free financial classes/budgeting classes for WFCM clients who receive financial assistance.
Cake4Kids
Capital Area Food Bank (CAFB) - The CAFB’s nonprofit Food Assistance Partners receive access to free food through the retail store Partner Direct program, training, and free government commodities through the USDA/TEFAP program for qualified clients. WFCM is an approved CAFB food assistance nonprofit member and location for “Produce Hub” pick-up for other nonprofits.
DC Diaper Bank - Our newest partnership is with DC Diaper Bank to serve as an Emergency Hub. Each month we receive and distribute 35,000 diapers for qualified babies in need in our community (not limited to WFCM clients). Each baby can receive 100 diapers every 30 days based on supply.
NOVEC - Novec's Operation Round Up provides funds to pay NOVEC bills for clients in need.
