Our next Seasonal Basics event is scheduled for October 4th.  

Seasonal Basics is a biannual FREE event dedicated to providing children, located in Loudoun and Fairfax Counties, currently in foster care and at-risk youth with essential seasonal clothing, ensuring they have the warmth and comfort they need for the changing weather. Held in collaboration with Floris UMC on the first Saturday of April and October, this event is more than just a clothing giveaway—it’s a community effort. Leading up to each event, we host Packing Bag Saturdays throughout the previous month, where volunteers come together to sort, organize, and prepare clothing bundles tailored to each youth’s needs. It takes a team to make this happen, and we welcome all who want to be part of creating meaningful moments of care and support. Join us in making a difference—one season at a time!
