Mark your calendar! From midnight to midnight on Tuesday, May 12, our community will come together for an extraordinary day of giving!
This year, you can help us create something truly transformative: a vibrant Fauquier Senior Hub.
Across Fauquier County, many older adults face increasing isolation, rising food costs, limited transportation, and a growing risk of depression and declining health.
Nationally, 1 in 3 seniors experiences loneliness, a serious issue linked to higher rates of illness and hospitalization. No one should grow older feeling forgotten or alone.
Here at home, we saw just how fragile connection can be. Right before the holidays, the sudden closure of the local Senior Center due to nearby construction left our seniors in tears, unsure if they would see one another again.
That moment made our mission for this giving day abundantly clear: our seniors need a permanent place to belong, where nutrition, movement, connection, safety, and lifelong learning are paramount.
Encompass Community Supports is working to make that vision a reality by planning to purchase land and build a permanent, mixed-use facility that will serve as both a welcoming community hub and a supportive housing solution for older adults.
Together, we can build more than a center. We can build a community.
To donate, please visit our giving page: ECS Give Local Piedmont. We will send you reminders as we count down the days until May 12.
Thank you for being a part of the solution to support our seniors.
