Liberty Restaurant Group

For nearly 20 years, the Liberty Restaurant Group has been a cornerstone of the Arlington restaurant scene. Doorways Emeritus Board member, Stephen Fedorchak (pictured below), and his restaurant partners opened The Liberty Tavern in 2007 next door to what was then Doorways’ main office, immediately becoming amazing neighbors and supporters. Since expanding to Falls Church, they have continued their tradition of generosity and kindness. We are so thankful they are hosting this year’s Open Hearts, Open Doors at The Falls. Kudos to Stephen and the entire Liberty Restaurant Group team for centering your business on your community!

"The federal government shutdown began on the first day of Domestic Violence Awareness month, and experts say it’s a good time to discuss how financial stress and job uncertainty can factor into domestic and family violence."

Data shows domestic violence remains a critical problem that is getting more violent

"With over a decade on the frontlines of this crisis, I can tell you that DV is escalating. The danger levels, the intensity of calls. The need for services continues to increase."

Volunteer opportunities before, during, and after the event

The Arlington Turkey Trot is more than just a 5K—it’s a beloved Thanksgiving morning tradition that brings our community together. Now in its 20th year, the Trot supports local nonprofits including Doorways. Volunteers are needed Pre-Race and Race Day!
