Help the Homeless
Reston Interfaith is honored to once again have been selected as a beneficiary of Fannie Mae’s Annual Help the Homeless Walkathon Program. The mission of Fannie Mae’s initiative is to raise public awareness of the issues surrounding homelessness and to support and increase resources for organizations working to prevent and end homelessness in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.
Whether
you walked on the National Mall, at Reston Heights, or in a mini-walk,
we appreciate your participation and interest in helping our neighbors
in need. For more information, please contact Cathy Hoskinson, Director of Development, at 571-323-9566. Thank you for walking with us to end homelessness in Fairfax County.
Between September and November 2009, nearly 1,200 children and adults participated in 10 walks, raising nearly $70,000.00 in support of RI's programs and services. A
wonderful group of schools, community organizations and individuals
contributed to this year's Help the Homeless program by hosting
mini-walks. RI would like to thank the Southgate Community, Beth
Allgaier and Fox Mill Elementary School, Christ the Servant Lutheran
Church, St. Anne's Episcopal Church, the Herndon Friends Meeting, the
Laurel Learning Center, the Embry Rucker Community Shelter, the Cedar
Ridge Community, Hutchison Elementary School, and Aldrin Elementary
School for participating in this important initiative.
