After losing their job during the pandemic, a Reston resident found themselves working for a delivery service to make ends meet. But when their car broke down,
their income stopped—and their housing was at risk. With nowhere else to turn,
they connected with Fairfax County Coordinated Services, who led them to Britepaths. Through the support of our staff, they received rental assistance and food support. Their story is a powerful reminder that behind every service we provide,
lives are being changed.
Celebrating the launch of
the secret garden at Britepaths
We will be hosting a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate The Secret Garden at Britepaths, a new in-office book nook designed to promote literacy and encourage a love of reading among the children of our client families. Located at our Fairfax office, The Secret Garden will offer a wide selection of new and like-new books for children and teens to browse and take home. This welcoming space is intended to support academic development and nurture imagination by making books more accessible to families who visit us for services. Once open, the space will be a permanent feature of our office and an ongoing resource for the families we serve.
Donations of new and like-new books for children ages 0-18 in varied languages are always welcome. To learn how to contribute, contact info@britepaths.org.
