Today we pause to appreciate our partnership with Fairfax Church, which began three years ago this week. Hearing about our difficult search for a new home in May of 2022, Brooke Luther, Pastor of Community Outreach at (then) Fairfax Community Church, graciously offered the use of their parking lot. Since then, we have been able to rent some storage and operating space nearby. But our partnership continues. A small, dedicated, all-weather crew of Gracing Spaces volunteers continues to accept donations in the Fairfax Church parking lot each week.
Fairfax Church is located at 11451 Braddock Rd, Fairfax, VA 22030. Every Wednesday morning from 9-10:30, volunteers Terry, Grant, Judy, Lona, and Don will be happy to see you there! Youโll find our beloved Big Blue truck waiting for your gently used items, from pots and pans to vacuums, from beds to sofas, dining tables, and chairs.
Many thanks to our faithful donors and hardy volunteers! And thanks again to Fairfax Church for their hospitality these past three years!
