Gartlan Center pantry organization volunteer event with CSB logo

Each week the PATH (Project for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness) program's personal care and clothing pantry provides food and clothing to guests who are experiencing homelessness. Guests can come twice a week to do take showers, do their laundry, collect their mail, enjoy a meal, and replenish their supplies from the pantry, and they also have the opportunity to find out about services provided by the CSB.

We are holding two clean-up days to organize the pantry:

Volunteers will help organize the closets, including:

  • Sorting and sizing clothes donations.
  • Labeling bins.
  • Removing expired items.
  • Assembling small toiletry bags.
  • Creating/updating inventory lists.

Volunteer groups are welcome! This opportunity does not involve any interactions with our guests. Must be 18 years or older to volunteer.

Volunteers are asked to commit at least three hours to the project. Volunteers will receive a t-shirt and lunch. We will be adhering to social distancing guidelines and all volunteers will be required to answer health screening questions and have their temperature checked before entering the building. Masks are required – bring your own or we will supply one.

For more information, please contact CSB's Intern & Volunteer Services Program Manager Evette Watson (703-383-8434).

Fairfax County is committed to nondiscrimination on the basis of disability in all county programs, services and activities. Reasonable accommodations will be provided upon request. For information, call 703-324-7000, TTY 711.
