Hypothermia Prevention Program
While the Hypothermia Prevention Program officially begins Dec. 1st with the current colder temperatures Fairfax County singles shelters have limited (due to COVID restrictions) extended capacity available. Contact the shelters for additional information.
What you need to know about panhandling
Every year the Fairfax County Police Department receives hundreds of calls related to panhandling. The calls range from traffic issues to safety concerns for the individual panhandling to fears about a suspicious person at an intersection.
Panhandling can be found in most areas of our county. While we may get a good feeling by providing money to directly to someone in need, the reality is that people in need require more resources than small amounts of money
