Family Emergency Services

Providing assistance 24/7!

ACCA provides food and emergency financial aid to area individuals and families to help with medical expenses, rent, utilities, and other needs. Requests for help come from ministers, social workers, and volunteer and community agencies.

Volunteers deliver food selected from ACCA's food pantry, located on Columbia Pike. ACCA typically provides enough food for 1 week. Food is donated to the pantry by individuals, ACCA churches, youth and community groups, and local and national food drives. The food pantry receives grants from Fairfax County, which are used to buy perishables and other items, such as baby formula. The pantry is further subsidized through ACCA's participation in the annual CROP Walk.

ACCA tries to make sure that recipients of financial aid are put in touch with long-range help, such as social services assistance, subsidized housing, pastoral counseling, fuel assistance programs, credit counseling, or other services as needed.
