We firmly believe in putting our faith into action and extending a helping hand to those in need.

Our Programs and Initiatives
Through our Local Outreach initiatives, we aim to address various social and community issues, providing support and assistance where it is needed the most. Here are some of the programs we offer:
1. Feeding the Hungry
One of our primary goals is to combat hunger in the Fairfax area. We run a food pantry that serves individuals and families who struggle to afford basic meals. Our dedicated team of volunteers ensures that nutritious food is distributed to those in need. By working alongside local food banks and organizations, we strive to make a lasting impact on the lives of those facing food insecurity.
2. Homeless Shelter
At Behind the Veil Christian Ministries, we firmly believe in providing a safe and welcoming space for the homeless community. Our temporary shelter offers overnight stays and essential resources such as warm meals, clothing, and access to support services. We work closely with local agencies to connect individuals with long-term housing solutions and assist them in rebuilding their lives.
3. Educational Support
We recognize the importance of education in empowering individuals to reach their full potential. Through our educational support program, we offer tutoring services and mentorship to students of all ages. We believe that every child and young adult should have access to quality education, regardless of their socio-economic background. By investing in education, we aim to break the cycle of poverty and create a brighter future for the entire community.
4. Health and Wellness
Our commitment to health and wellness extends to all members of the Fairfax community. We organize health fairs and workshops to raise awareness about healthy living and provide free medical screenings. Additionally, our counseling services are available to individuals and families who may be facing mental health challenges, offering them the support they need to overcome difficult times.
5. Community Engagement
Behind the Veil Christian Ministries actively engages with the community through various events and initiatives. From neighborhood clean-up drives to organizing local festivals, we foster a sense of belonging and togetherness. We also collaborate with other local organizations and churches to maximize our impact and promote unity among different faith-based communities.
