We view Casa Chirilagua as an extension of the local church, being an access point for the local church to give tangible expression to it’s call to serve the poor, the oppressed, the immigrant, the widow, and the orphan. We affirm the central role of the local congregation in discipling new followers of Christ.
We are called to affirm the vital role of the local church
We are a community of people “learning together to love our neighbors as ourselves” in a Latino neighborhood in Alexandria, Virginia.
As a faith-based Christian non-profit with a small staff and over 100 volunteers, we serve alongside more than 100 families and their children (1st-12th grades) each week through our community programs.
Get Involved
Our relational network of volunteers and donors reflects a diverse group of individuals from all over the Washington, D.C. metro area. As a non-profit, we rely on the community for assisting program directors on-site, being mentors, supplying the needs of our food pantry, and everything in between. Each member of our Casa community holds a unique gift, whether time, talent or treasure.
