New Towels Needed! 🧺

Both our Neighbor Care Center and our Micah outreach/shower space give individuals the opportunity to grab a hot shower and a moment of dignity. Right now, our towel and washcloth supply is running low.

We're asking for new towels only (any color except white!). Because of space and capacity, we're not able to accept used towels at this time.

Drop-offs welcome at 1013 Princess Anne St. in downtown Fredericksburg. If you'd rather order through Amazon and have some towels or washcloths sent directly to us, find links in the comments.

Thank you for helping us keep this space running for our neighbors. 💙

"It is something we should be shouting from the rooftops."

That's what Fredericksburg City Councilmember Will Mackintosh said this week—and he was talking about us.

Micah Executive Servant-Leader Meghann Cotter updated the City Council on Jeremiah Community, our plan to end street homelessness in the Fredericksburg region with a neighborhood of permanent homes and the wraparound support that helps people truly thrive.

Vice Mayor Chuck Frye put it simply: "This vision is unfolding in front of our eyes."

The site plan is moving. The fundraising is moving. Fredericksburg is at the cutting edge of what a real solution to chronic homelessness can look like.

Want to see it for yourself? Send us a message to join a Come and See tour.

Hey! There's two empty seats on the Come and See bus Friday. Wanna come?

Micah has created a Come and See opportunity for various individuals and groups to experience Micah's 20-year journey to Jeremiah Community. It takes about 2.5 hours. We start at the Neighbor Care Center with a bit of story telling and vision setting, then we visit Respite and the Cold Weather

If your summer plans include a healthy closet purge, we encourage you to support one of our community partners with your gently used clothing donations.

Partners like Rappahannock Goodwill, FXBG Free Closet, Manarc Re-Sale Store Non Profit Organization Supporting Local Veterans and Provisions Thrift Store Ministry enable Micah to provide free clothing vouchers to our neighbors to help them find what they need at these local shops. They also support charities and ministries in our area, and provide opportunities for individuals who have barriers to employment. Not to mention keeping discarded items out of our landfills!

Depending on our thrift-store partners for managing clothing donations enables Micah to keep our spaces open for helping neighbors through one-on-one case work and support, and meeting their needs in a variety of other ways. Partnerships like these make our community stronger.

The path to a stable living situation sometimes starts with a search for some of the basic identity tools of modern life. Social security numbers, birth certificates, and other fixtures of a person’s legal identity are key to restoring income, eligibility for employment, housing and banking services.

One of the many things that Micah’s Journey volunteers do is walk side-by-side with our neighbors in the sometimes arduous process of helping them reclaim these keys to moving forward.

These special volunteers are highly trained sleuths with the knowledge and patience necessary to navigate the complex world of bureaucratic records, or sometimes just ask that extra question that provides a clue to finding information key to helping neighbors reclaim their identity.

Journey volunteers make a difference by helping neighbors move forward one more step toward a more stable future.

It's detailed, difficult work. And it changes lives.

We love adding new volunteers into our daily team of life-changers at Micah. If you are interested in learning about how to join our family of volunteers, check out the volunteer page under “Give Help” on our website. There, you can learn more about our volunteer roles, and get signed up for an orientation.

Relationships are at the heart of the work we do every day at Micah.

For our neighbors experiencing homelessness, relationships can provide stability, support, encouragement and connection as they work toward housing and healing.

But relationships are also essential to HOW this work happens.

No one organization can meet every need alone. That’s why we are grateful for strong partnerships throughout our community: relationships built on trust, communication and a shared commitment to caring for our neighbors.

One example is our ongoing collaboration with the and a network of local organizations and service providers. Together, these partners regularly come to the table to share perspectives, strengthen communication and better support members of our community who may need extra care and connection.

In 2025 alone, this collaborative effort tracked 93 individuals with complex needs. Of the 39 neighbors who received coordinated care through the partnership, 18 were housed or had a housing plan in place by the end of the year. Others were connected to hospital care, mental health treatment, recovery support, family reunification or safer living situations.

Groups represented at these meetings include the Rappahannock Area Community Services Board, the Fredericksburg Department of Social Services, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the Fredericksburg Regional Continuum of Care and the Fredericksburg Public Defender’s Office.

These conversations are not about quick fixes. They are about listening, understanding challenges together, and continuing to build a community where no one is overlooked.

We are thankful to work alongside so many people and organizations who believe every neighbor matters.

What happens when a form asks for your address, and you don’t have one?

For many of our unhoused neighbors, that single blank space can become a major barrier to rebuilding stability.

An address is often required to apply for jobs, receive benefits, access services, replace identification documents or stay connected with family and friends. Without one, important opportunities can slip away.

That’s why one of the many services offered through Micah’s Neighbor Care Center on Princess Anne Street is mail service.

For neighbors experiencing homelessness, Micah can serve as a trusted mailing address and a consistent place to receive important correspondence. It may seem simple, but having a reliable place for mail can open doors to resources and support that help people move forward.

Behind the scenes, Micah volunteers carefully sort and organize mail each day to make sure every piece ends up in the right hands.

Sometimes, rebuilding a life starts with something as basic—and as meaningful—as having a place to receive your mail.

Angelo Logan knows that more and more people in our community are struggling to find stable places to live.

Here, he shares why he felt called—not just as a pastor, but as a community member—to partner with Micah Ecumenical Ministries in being part of the solution.

Real change happens when people step forward together with compassion, courage and a willingness to act.

We are grateful for partners like Angelo who believe every neighbor deserves the opportunity to thrive.
