The Fauquier Bank has continued its “Charity of Choice” program for 2020.
For every new account opened, the bank will donate $25 to a Charity of Choice and for every “Tell-A-Friend” coupon redeemed, the bank will donate $10 to the selected charity.
A total of 10 charities have been selected for the program, which focuses 80% on local charities and 20% on larger charities that the bank believes are important to the community.
This week, we’re highlighting the Charity of Choice Central Virginia Housing Coalition.
Central Virginia Housing Coalition works with community leaders to prevent homelessness.
The nonprofit provides resources to families to assist them in becoming successful renters or homeowners. Such resources include education, counseling, community management, and casework. The Coalition offers several programs where families can get financial assistance for their homes, rent directly from them at fair market rate and counseling on budgeting and credit concerns.
The Coalition also offers a voucher program that enables very low-income individuals to acquire safe, sanitary housing. The Coalition started in 1988 and today has a full staff serving the counties of Caroline, Stafford, Spotsylvania, King George, Fredericksburg, and Caroline.
You can support their efforts by giving a monetary donation or volunteering for one of their programs.
