Helping the neediest and most vulnerable among us, ACCA offers critical help in emergencies: rental assistance; funds for car repairs, utility bills, medical and dental care; nutritious food and hygiene products; gently used furniture; transportation to medical appointments; meals on wheels – the most basic, fundamental aid imaginable. Its Child Development Center provides affordable day care, early education, and special services annually for 274 infants and children from low-income households, the kind of help that gives families a healthy start in life. ACCA has grown to include 26 congregations in sections of Fairfax County where many low-income and immigrant families reside; emergency programs are managed and supported by volunteers who work from their homes, offices, and cars, providing thousands of hours of service each month. Continual increases in referrals, and clients whose needs have only grown, means that your generosity matters now more than ever.
