On June 28, 2023, ECNV staff Rosalia Fajardo and peer intern Margarita Baquero participated in the Women Giving Back fair, which was organized by Loudoun Human Service Network. This fair is committed to providing access and equal opportunity to families in need, especially those who live in Sterling which has the largest population of Hispanic families. ECNV provided COVID-19 home test kits for approximately 150 individuals, was able to share about its programs to the public and connected with more than 25 non-profit organizations.

Food and drinks were provided to families and Women Giving Back volunteers were on site providing childcare support while parents connected with nonprofits. Loudoun Hunger Relief distributed fresh produce for families to take home. Attendees were also invited to shop at Women Giving Back’s free clothing boutique. ECNV showed up for the families and let them know that we’re there for them!
