The Brisben Center is a safe place for transformation, where men, women, children & families without housing are provided shelter, showers, nutritious meals and a caring staff - 24/7/365 - at no cost to residents. It is located at 471 Central Road, Fredericksburg, VA 22401. To learn more, visit their website here: The Brisben Center

At St. Mary of the Annunciation, our parish volunteers serve dinner at The Brisben Center once a quarter to between 45 and 90 residents each time. We purchase the ingredients and prepare the meal at the center, and after it is served they provide cleanup for us. We have the same menu every time we volunteer because they like it and we have it down to a science!

The entire process requires at least 6 volunteers from our parish, so if you if you are interested in this ministry, we would love to have your help!
