Reston Citizen

Reston Interfaith, the non profit group that runs the Embry Rucker site has already raised $10,000 in a Saturday event to end homelesnes.

On Thrusday they’ll be holding a mini walk at Fox Mill Elementary, which last year brought in another $10,000. In a town where the median household income is $80,000, many are surprised that such a need exists. But in Fairfax County the homeless population is 2000 people, most of which is caused by a lack of affordable and single room units.

Reston Interfaith runs the Embry Rucker shelter, which can hold 70 people, and formerly ran the controversial Herndon Day Labor site, which helped people who would otherwise be unemployed and possibly homeless, find work.
