Dear John:
As we turn the page on a century of service, I want to thank you for being part of NVFS’ extraordinary journey. Over the past year, we reflected on 100 years of impact — celebrating the people and partnerships that make our work possible. Together, we marked this moment through transformational programming, a strategic merger with SCAN of Northern Virginia, meaningful community events, and the launch of a refreshed brand that reflects who we are and where we are headed.
As part of this evolution, we have updated our name to Northern Virginia Family Services — adding an “s” to reflect the breadth and depth of our comprehensive support for individuals and families. You will begin to see our new name and visual identity appear across our materials, website, and communications in the weeks ahead.
You can learn more about our brand refresh and the values that guide it here.
Our work continues with a deep sense of purpose and urgency. While Northern Virginia is vibrant and resilient, too many of our neighbors still face barriers that stand in the way of stability and opportunity. NVFS remains committed to meeting the evolving needs of our region with compassionate, comprehensive services. This includes expanding access to essential community supports like:
- Affordable, high-quality childcare
- Basic necessities like food and safe, stable housing
- Economic mobility through skills training and career development
- Accessible physical and mental health support for children, adults, and families
These services are critical to building strong, thriving communities — and NVFS is proud to be a trusted partner in helping individuals and families create pathways to wellbeing and long-term success. We are honored to continue this work with you by our side.
Whether you are a donor, partner, volunteer, client, or advocate — thank you. Your support powers our mission every day, and we look forward to continuing this journey together.
