ABOUT THE LAMB CENTER: The Lamb Center is a daytime drop-in center for individuals (our guests) who are experiencing homelessness in Fairfax, Virginia. We provide breakfast, lunch, showers, laundry service, Bible studies, case management, employment opportunities, housing and job counseling, AA meetings, small group opportunities, nurse practitioner services, a dental clinic, and much more. As a Christian ecumenical community of faith, the Lamb Center works on behalf of all people experiencing poverty or homelessness regardless of race, religion, creed, or any other status. The core values of Christianity are central to the Lamb Center’s ministry: loving God with all one’s heart, soul, mind, and strength; and loving one’s neighbors as oneself. Together, our staff, Board of Directors, volunteers, and supporters provide a community of fellowship, support, empowerment, and learning together that grows ever stronger in relationship with our guests.

ABOUT THE RACIAL RECONCILATION GROUP: The Racial Reconciliation Group is a diverse, faith-based, grassroots community focused on building relationships with individuals, churches, and organizations for racial healing and justice. Our mission areas of prayer, education, service, and policy guide our efforts. Over the last 7 years, we have met weekly to listen to each other in humility, build understanding, lift each other, and act to make positive change through service and policy. Our desire is to see and love each other, and through transformed relationships, bring healing and reconciliation in accordance with the Christ’s calling.
