One Commandment, a new Alexandria nonprofit organization dedicated to eradicating homelessness, will hold its first-ever fundraising event later this month.
The holiday-themed “Galentine’s Day” event, set for Tuesday, is in support of One Commandment’s mission to assist single, middle-aged women experiencing homelessness. This group of women, generally between the ages of 40 and 60, is termed the “hidden homeless” because many do not appear to be struggling.
Patrons who stop by Lena’s Wood-Fired Pizza & Tap, located at 401 E. Braddock Road, for dine-in or take-out on Sunday and mention One Commandment will help out the organization. The event runs all day.
