For immigrant families in Virginia

Resources

Everything here is to help you prevent and prepare for an immigration emergency: a raid, ICE at your home, detention, or the risk of deportation. Start with the toolkit, make a plan for your family, or find help near you.

Toolkit Navigation

Each guide stands on its own. Start with whichever one matches your situation right now.

Community Resources

Trusted organizations across the region, grouped by the kind of help they offer. Pick a category to narrow the list, then follow a link to get in touch directly.

Each row scrolls sideways. Pick a category above to see everything in it at once.

Food

Seven pantries across Fairfax, Loudoun and Prince William, each confirmed by phone. Call before you travel: hours change.

Food for Your Family

Pantries and food programs across Northern Virginia and Prince William. DMIA called each one, and every card shows the date it was confirmed.

None of these pantries asks about immigration status. Some ask for an ID or proof of address and some ask for nothing at all, so open a card to see exactly what to bring.
