OUTREACH

Your generosity enabled Zion Church to continue supporting local and global communities in need. On the homefront, our outreach included providing local families with rent, mortgage, and utility assistance. We also exponentially increased our food and housing insecurity work, engaging corporate partners which allowed us to be the hands of feet of Christ for those in need.

HEALTH & WELLNESS

6,000+ People served at Zion health clinics

Our firstever free Z-Fest Community Wellness Day was a success, being a source of free education and much-needed health-based services for attendees. Partner organizations include Kaiser Permanente, Mary’s Center, Redicare, Dementia Friendly Association, Black Farmers Food Security Network, Holy Cross, Reagan’s Voice and US Wellcare. Z-Fest is just one of the initiatives made possible by a grant from United Way of the National Capital Area
