The homes and shelter facilities we build and renovate are beautiful, welcoming, and comforting, but they are missing some of the most basic items that a person needs to recover from homelessness and get back on their feet. Filling refrigerators with much-needed food or homes with new kitchen utensils and bathroom supplies is just one way that your volunteering efforts can make a positive difference in someone’s life!
200 blankets and 125 hygiene kits given to individuals living in tent cities in Woodbridge, VA
75 boxes of diapers given to shelters serving young mothers and victims of domestic violence
$350 in grocery store gift cards given to new residents of HomeAid-renovated housing
$1,000 worth of home essentials—like pots, sheets, towels, and more—so families have what they need in a new home
100s of tickets to baseball games, Disney on Ice, and more to allow homeless children to just be kids for a night
450 backpacks given to children to start the school year off right
HomeAid Northern Virginia is collecting diapers/wipes for our shelter partners and we need your help. Please consider donating or hosting a diaper drive to keep babies clean and dry throughout Northern Virginia.
The cost of disposable diapers is nearly $1,000 a year per child which is a huge expense for families already struggling to get by. It can mean the difference between parents trying to stretch supplies by leaving diapers on their babies too long or reusing dirty diapers, leading to painful diaper rash and discomfort.
You can download our flyer for more information and drop off diapers and wipes by December 15th.
Fill the Fridge for families moving out of homelessness and into a new home. Collect gift cards so that families can buy milk, fruit, and other perishables for a healthy start in their new home!

Are you great at organizing in a small space? Can you show someone the basics of cooking or healthy eating? Could you teach yoga or take a great family photo? Do you have other skills or special talents that you would be willing to share with a small group of clients experiencing homelessness seeking to better their circumstance and become productive citizens in our community? If so, HomeAid can match you with one of our shelter partners interested in having you share your skills with others. We are seeking a multitude of skills and interests so please let us know how you would like to participate.
Our team of committed volunteers ensures the success of our largest annual event, our Annual Gala & Auction! Gala Committee members are involved in planning the event and bringing the theme to life through decor, entertainment, and set-up. They also assist with raffle and auction procurement, as well as registration. If you’d like to get involved and be a part of this important evening for HomeAid, please contact Kristyn Burr for more information.

Serving as a Builder Captain may be one of the most satisfying construction projects you, your partners, and your staff will ever experience.
If your organization serves individuals or families affected by homelessness and has housing or program space that is in need of extensive renovations or you have a bigger construction vision for the future, HomeAid can help!
You don’t need to be a Builder or Trade Partner to be part of the solution—find out how you can get involved!
Trade Partners are the backbone of our accomplishments! Each HomeAid project relies on the generosity, expertise, and commitment of many partners working together.
