Welcome to Fairfax Families Care, a locally-based relief effort to enable the local community to help families displaced by Hurricane Katrina. We are a regional coalition of government, schools, PTAs, businesses, nonprofit and nongovernmental officials who are working together to provide support to persons who were evacuated from their homes due to Hurricane Katrina and have found their way to Fairfax County. This second phase of relief efforts is to provide evacuees with jobs, housing, and schooling for nine months or longer, while their home communities are being repaired; and to provide a means through which Fairfax County residents can provide tangible help. Detailed information about this effort can be found in the Main Menu on the left. |
