Mission: NOVA
Bringing Hope Closer to Home
Across Northern Virginia, families are quietly struggling—many facing hunger, instability, or homelessness for the first time. But now your compassion has a place to meet them.
Across Northern Virginia, Poverty is Rising
Poverty doesn’t stop at the DC line. Across Northern Virginia, immigrant and refugee families, low-wage workers, seniors, and single parents are struggling.
Mission: NOVA extends the work of Central Union Mission into Arlington and nearby neighborhoods—walking alongside families with practical support and dignity.
When you give to Central Union Mission, you provide immediate relief and long-term restoration rooted in dignity, opportunity, and the hope of Christ.
- Emergency food and clothing distributions to ease today’s burdens
