Although they receive funding from USDA for meals, it's not enough. The Falls Church Emergency Shelter said the shelter is opened evenings only from December through end of March. It can handle up to 15 people. Guests are selected and sent by the Bailey's Shelter. Space was donated by Mr. Massoud.
Churches provide breakfast foods.
This is a really fascinating group to be with. What amazes me is the amount of volunteer services that are provided by FCS through the committees. It allows both the participation of the surrounding churches as well as those individual churches and individuals within those churches who wish to participate. Its then relayed to the coordinators of the appropriate committees which could possibly fit the person's needs. We occasionally send volunteers to special events that FCS sponsors to help with the work of FCS, e.g., Christmas wrapping at a designated stores just before Christmas.
