A family of four at 200% of the federal poverty income guidelines lives on $64,300 or less, and this is the situation for 89% of WFCM clients. They may be experiencing a one-time crisis, have a job-preventing disability, or work part-time jobs with no benefits. As the anchor human services nonprofit in western Fairfax County, WFCM provides both food and financial support. Two Client Choice Food Markets offer free produce, meat, dairy, shelf-stable foods, toiletries, diapers (in partnership with the Greater DC Diaper Bank), baby food, and formula. WFCM also assists with rent and utility bills, including rental assistance. Seasonal and year-round supplemental programs include nutrition workshops, a laundry ministry, student backpack support, and food during school and holiday breaks. The goal is to meet basic needs and keep clients safely housed during financial crises.
