How Can I Help?

As a resident of this community, you can help be part of the solution. You can help us provide health care to uninsured children. There are many opportunities for involvement. You can:

• Ask your physician, dentist or pharmacy to participate.
• Become a Sponsor. Contribute one year of health care for one or more children — just $325 per child, per year, or donate a different amount for children's medical expenses, laboratory tests or prescription assistance.
• Volunteer your time or your corporation's talents, i.e. printing, hosting a special event.
• Donate.
• Serve on the Advisory Council.

Become A Partner

MCCP is an innovative public/private partnership structured to allow each partner to contribute its strength to the program. The business and foundation community provides support through grants and expenditure of time and talents of their staff. Fairfax County provides the administration for the program, Northern Virginia Family Service, a non-profit, community-based social services agency contracting with the Fairfax County Office of Partnerships, implements the program through case managers, and the medical community provides health care at reduced fees. The Northern Virginia Community Foundation, a public, tax-exempt, philanthropic organization, oversees the endowment, as well as the mechanism to disburse program funds. Since the County administers the partnership, there are no overhead costs. Therefore, all donations are used to cover health care costs.

Join the Advisory Council

The MCCP Advisory Council is comprised of partners from many segments of Fairfax County — the business, foundation and medical communities, along with client recipients and individual citizens. Each member of the MCCP Advisory Council serves on a subcommittee that provides guidance on such issues as marketing and public relations, resource development, program development, finances, advocacy and volunteering.

These are just some of the ways to become involved. Please call us if you are interested at (703) 324-5171, TTY 711, e-mail us at mccp@fairfaxcounty.gov, or fill out our volunteer interest form.
