Langley Residential Receives $10K Gift From McLean Family

From Langley Residential Support Services

VIENNA, VA – Langley Residential Support Services is pleased to announce receiving a wonderful, much-needed gift from the McLean-based Narang family via their Narang Foundation. The $10,000 gift provides support to Langley Residential’s programs for adults with developmental disabilities: six homes in different Fairfax County communities that house two dozen individuals and drop-in services for another 30 individuals living in their own home or their family’s home in Northern Virginia.

The foundation was started in 2017 by the Narang Family, with the purpose of aiding not-for-
profits that provide essential and immeasurable services to the communities they serve, with a particular focus on Northern Virginia. The Narang Foundation notes its pride in supporting Langley Residential’s nearly 40-year pursuit of its core mission: providing extensive support services to and for developmentally disabled adults within the community.

“Langley Residential was created decades ago as a grassroots response to a true community
need: helping parents worried about what would happen to their developmentally disabled adult children when they could no longer care for them. Since then, they have helped so many people, thus actively improving the community by providing a support system for those with disabilities. These are just the kind of community enhancement and life-changing activities our family wishes to support,” said RJ Narang, a small business owner in McLean and board member of the foundation. “Our primary goal is to provide assistance to those organizations, such as Langley Residential, which provide crucial and invaluable services to members of our community, especially at a time like this. The men and women who are a part of this wonderful organization are the true heroes, and it is our honor to support them.”

“We are absolutely delighted about the Narang Family’s extremely kind contribution, especially
during this time when we’ve been so affected by the pandemic. All of us are enormously touched by their compassionate generosity,” said Betsy Schatz, executive director, who has been running Langley Residential since 1988. The organization was originally founded just five years prior in 1983 by three churches in McLean. Langley Residential is a 501c3 charity and is online at www.LangleyResidential.org.
