At Shax Media, we believe in the power of community. That's why we're thrilled to announce that we have joined the Tysons Community Alliance's Tyson's Teammates initiative. Our headquarters is located in Tysons, and we're committed to giving back to the community that we live and work in.

Our journey with the Tysons Community Alliance began with a meaningful volunteer opportunity with Food for Others, a vital organization that has been serving Northern Virginia since 1995. Food for Others plays a crucial role in our region's safety net, providing food assistance to families in need during emergencies and helping working poor families supplement their food supplies.

During our recent volunteer event, members of the Tyson's Teammates, including our Shax Media team, rolled up our sleeves and got to work. Over the course of two hours, we packed approximately 450 weekend meals for students in the Tysons area. It was a humbling experience to know that our efforts would directly impact the lives of children and families right here in our community.

The need for food assistance in Tysons is significant, with an estimated 54,000 families facing food insecurity. Food for Others has been a lifeline for many of these families, assisting over 3,000 households in Tysons alone. Recently celebrating their one-year anniversary serving families in the area, Food for Others relies heavily on volunteers and donors to sustain their essential services.

Their donations come from various sources, including grocery stores, local farms, and individual contributions. In 2023 alone, Food for Others delivered an impressive 3.5 million pounds of food across the DMV area, a testament to their commitment to serving those in need. Part of their success lies in providing a diverse range of food options that cater to the unique needs of our diverse neighborhood.

As members of the Tysons Teammates and advocates for our community, we are proud to stand alongside Food for Others in their mission to alleviate hunger in Northern Virginia.

We encourage our fellow community members to join us in supporting Food for Others and the Tysons Community Alliance. Whether through volunteering, donating, or spreading the word about their important work, together, we can make a difference in the lives of our neighbors in need.

Stay tuned for more updates on our work with Tysons Teammates and our continued efforts to serve and uplift our beloved Tysons community.

With gratitude,

The Shax Media Team
