Arlington Thrive

Arlington Thrive delivers same-day emergency funds to our neighbors in crisis, so they can be secure in their jobs, health, and homes and thrive in a caring community. Thrive is the only organization in Arlington County, Virginia that provides same-day, emergency financial assistance to County residents who experience sudden financial crisis such as temporary unemployment or illness. Most clients are the working poor, elderly and disabled people on a fixed income, and the homeless and formerly homeless who need Arlington Thrive's funds as a "safety net" until they are able to get back on firmer financial footing. Arlington Thrive's clients are among Arlington County's most vulnerable residents. Families with children are given the highest priority, and one-third of the individuals served by Arlington Thrive are children.
