We will be at the resource fair tomorrow! Please stop by our table to learn about our free financial coaching, classes, and ways to volunteer.
Congressman Don Beyer, in partnership with Arlington County, Fairfax County, City of Alexandria, and the City of Falls Church, invites you to attend a popup resource fair to access vital services including: unemployment assistance, mental health support, housing information, food aid, and federal workers rights information.
Parking is very limited, consider carpooling or taking public transportation.
Update! 🚌 A free shuttle will be circulating throughout the duration of the event between Ballston Metro (next to the Ballston-MU South Elevator at N. Fairfax Dr. and N. Stuart St.) and Wakefield High School.
Our county is home to around 80,000 federal employees and over 3,800 federal contractors. We've created a new resource page to help navigate current and future issues for residents, government employees, active military/veterans, contractors, nonprofits and businesses who may be affected by actions, changes or disruptions to federal services or employment.
The page includes:
☑️ Employment and Unemployment Information
☑️ Healthcare Coverage Options
☑️ Financial and Basic Needs Help
☑️ Mental Health Support
☑️ Military and Veterans Information
And more, such as starting a business and getting involved in the community.

Virginia Cooperative Extension brings the resources of Virginia's land-grant universities, Virginia Tech and Virginia State University, to the people of the commonwealth.
Understanding that knowledge is power, we place that power in the hands of Virginians and help them learn how to use it to improve the quality of their lives. Our Extension agents and specialists form a network of educators whose classrooms are the communities, homes, and businesses of Virginia, where they bring research-based solutions to the problems facing Virginians today.
To better utilize our resources, we form collaborations with hundreds of public and private partners and volunteers, who help us reach larger and more diverse audiences and also leverage the impact of our work.
We are a product of cooperation among local, state, and federal governments in partnership with tens of thousands of citizens, who, through local Extension Leadership Councils, help design, implement, and evaluate our needs-driven programs.
We are a dynamic organization that stimulates positive personal and societal change, leading to more productive lives, families, farms, and forests as well as a better environment.
Virginia Cooperative Extension is an educational outreach program of Virginia's land-grant universities: Virginia Tech and Virginia State University, and a part of the National Institute for Food and Agriculture, an agency of the United States Department of Agriculture.
Extension programs are delivered through a network of faculty at two universities, 108 county and city offices, 11 agricultural research and Extension centers, and six 4-H educational centers. Our system incorporates the expertise of faculty in the Virginia Tech College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, College of Natural Resources and Environment, Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine, and the Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station; as well as the College of Agriculture at Virginia State University.
