Fire Leaves Local Seniors Homeless and Hungry

On May 21st, a suspected gas explosion damaged a high-rise senior living community in Arlington and left 100 residents without a home.  30 of these temporarily displaced seniors are being housed in Alexandria at the Homestead Studio Suites in the Carlyle/Eisenhower Valley neighborhood  and they need our help!

Find out how you can help provide assistance to seniors in need.

According to the manager of the hotel, who is coordinating assistance for the displaced seniors, there is no restaurant on site, and although the rooms have kitchens, the seniors have no way of getting food or the ability to cook. They are receiving milk and eggs from their senior living community every 2-3 days but need additional food and assistance.

The hotel manager is seeking help for their new temporary residents. Help today!
