Loudoun Cares envisions a future with compassionate engaged communities who are interconnected throughout the County, where every individual has access to the support, resources, and opportunities they need.
Connecting those who serve with those in need to build a stronger community.
Since 2003, Loudoun Cares has been connecting Loudoun County residents with the resources they need as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Through our ConnectLine Helpline, we link individuals and families to local nonprofits and agencies that provide critical health and human services, including rent and utility assistance, food, clothing, medical and dental care, housing, job services, and more. We also partner with over 25 faith-based organizations to secure emergency financial aid for qualifying residents. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we expanded our services to directly distribute funds for rent and utility assistance.
Our Volunteer Center serves as a hub for community engagement, connecting resident and corporate volunteers with local nonprofits in need of support. Whether assisting with a one-time event or providing ongoing services, volunteers can explore opportunities, stay informed about upcoming events, and track their impact through our online platform.
Loudoun Cares partnerships and collaborations are the cornerstones of its ability to serve. As the bridge between government agencies, community-based organizations, and faith communities, Loudoun Cares stays abreast of resources through ongoing outreach and collaboration. These partnerships provide a streamlined approach for fast and efficient delivery of service.
We partner with local organizations to ensure we share information about our programs and those of the other nonprofits in our community. As a member of the Loudoun Human Services Network, we work with the network to stay abreast of county policies and opportunities to improve our services and engage our community.
