Hunger Doesn't Stop for a Pandemic. Neither Does Herndon!

First Herndon Cares #TakeoutTuesday was a big success!

Every day seems to bring new stories about COVID-19 and the impact it’s having on individuals, businesses, communities, and local, national, and global economies. To help address heightened food insecurity, employment stability concerns, and small business viability at the local level, the First Baptist Church of Herndon, in concert with other Herndon/Reston congregations, is leading a campaign to order weekly takeout dinners from your favorite local restaurants and to provide these to community members who are feeling financial strain during these difficult days. Your donation of approximately $10 can provide one takeout dinner for someone in need, and, at the same time, it can help a neighbor to remain employed and a business to be successful.

To learn more or donate, please visit the Herndon Cares website. Thank you for your support.
