Give Together

Join Volunteer Fairfax for our annual family-friendly volunteer event: Give Together.  This event takes place on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, the only National Holiday dedicated to volunteer service and designated as a "day-on, not a day-off."   This event is intended for families who want to serve together and learn about ways to support some of the areas local nonprofit partners working across a variety of mission areas.

Families with children as young as 5 years old are invited to participate in thoughtful, engaging projects that include a food drive and food packing, caring kits for community members who need support, no-tie fleece blankets for Veterans, environmental awareness and support for animal welfare.  Children earn passport stamps as they complete projects and are encouraged to participate in a reflection on Martin Luther King, Jr.'s legacy of service and community building.
