Office of Community Services Visits Virginia CAAs

Representatives from the Office of Community Services recently visited the Alexandria Office of Community Services to get a closer look at programs making a difference in the region. The group met at the new Alexandria Department of Community & Human Services building and went over programs, guidelines, and barriers that households face.

The group then visited the ALIVE food hub and walked through what the process is like for households to access the food pantry. In both meetings, Alexandria CAA staff  highlighted one of the biggest resources that Alexandria has is the community partnership -- city staff and non-profits working together towards a common goal, as it relates to housing stabilization, workforce development, and food security.
