Thrive Virginia remains an essential resource for individuals and families

For more than 50 years, Thrive Virginia has supported the well-being of families.  Using person-centered and collaborative services, we empower those fighting poverty to achieve individualized prosperity and community connections. 


Over the past three years, Thrive Virginia has been an essential resource for individuals and families facing poverty during a global pandemic. As a Community Action Agency, Thrive Virginia disbursed the Federal CARES Act and special TANF funding to assist people with rent, utility and childcare expenses. The government is no longer providing those funds.
