We provide opportunities for the building of cross-cultural relationships through which Christians can celebrate the diversity of the peoples and nations God has created. We seek to encourage cooperation among local congregations in addressing local needs. We desire partnerships with participating churches that are characterized by strong relationships between the Casa Chirilagua staff, the Chirilagua community and church leaders.
We are called to unite the body of Christ in common outreach efforts
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.
