Parishes
By Anna Donofrio
No Hands But Yours is a ministry at Nativity Catholic Church in Burke devoted to serving the homeless and those in need in Northern Virginia and Washington. Every Sunday, volunteers meet at the parish, split the donations evenly, then drive their separate ways: one car headed to the nation’s capital, the others to spots throughout Northern Virginia.
The mission is simple: find the homeless or those in need on the streets, and give them food and words of encouragement.
