Fairfax demographer Anne P. Cahill recently spoke to the Falls Church Community Services Council about the county's diversity, which inspired Elder Nick Snow, the organization's secretary, to write an article that appeared in the Washington Post at the end of July.

Examples of Community Services provided by Knox Volunteers
The
Food Pantry is a part of the Falls Church Community Service Council (FCS)
and is housed at Knox Church. Volunteers deliver food each weekday to
persons in the greater Falls Church area that are referred by county welfare
agencies and the clergy of churches. We are an emergency "stop-gap"
until long-term assistance can be acquired, or solutions found.
Each delivery consists of food for the preparation of meals for a week
for the size of the family or individual. Thanksgiving "baskets"
are delivered with items for a traditional meal.
Clothes Closet:
Volunteers staff a clothes closet located at National
Memorial Baptist Church as part of Falls Church Community Service Council.
Those in need of clothing are usually referred by a social worker. Donations
of seasonal clothing in good condition are welcome.
