A huge thank you to Arlington Strategy

Much like CRi, Arlington Strategy values community and respect and is always willing to roll up their sleeves to get the job done.

Thanks to their commitment to collaboration, integrity, and action, Vaughn Ball’s yard went through an amazing transformation in under 2 hours.

Yesterday, we celebrated International Volunteer Managers Day with our friends at Volunteer Fairfax and other volunteer administrators from local organizations!

We gathered for a thoughtful book club and documentary discussion, sharing insights, ideas, and inspiration on the power of volunteerism and community leadership.

A special thank-you to Shannon White, our incredible Volunteer Program Manager at CRi, for her dedication, compassion, and leadership in making a difference every day. We’re so grateful for all that you do! ❤️

We had such a wonderful time joining Volunteer Fairfax at this year’s VolunteerFest at the Pozez JCC in Fairfax, celebrating 30 years of this incredible community tradition. The energy and generosity in the room were inspiring as everyone came together to assemble 75,000 meals for local neighbors in need.

CRi also hosted an interactive activity where guests wrote the name of someone they know living with developmental disabilities or mental health needs on our community canvas. It was a powerful reminder that we all know someone who needs care and support, and that breaking the stigma begins with awareness, compassion, and connection. 💚

A heartfelt thank-you to all the amazing volunteers who made this event such a success!

This past Saturday, we had a wonderful day of volunteering with the YMSL Hunter Mill Chapter at our Ridge Ford home. It was a beautiful day for raking leaves, maintaining the yard, cleaning the deck, and deep cleaning the patio furniture and grill. 🍂

We’re so grateful to the YMSL members for their time and hard work. Your efforts truly make a difference!
