The Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce (Fairfax Chamber) and the Fairfax-Falls Church Community Partnership to Prevent and End Homelessness recently announced that more than 55 workplaces have registered to participate in “Jeans Day 2011 to Put the ZIP on Homelessness.”
Jeans Day takes place on Friday, October 21, 2007 and employees all over Northern Virginia will be allowed to wear jeans to work in exchange for a $5 contribution to End Homelessness. The event is supported by the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors.
President & CEO of the Fairfax Chamber Jim Corcoran said, “We’re thrilled to see this level of participation from workplaces and employees in our community. Northern Virginia businesses step up every day to support our community in many ways and joining in the work to end homelessness in our community is no exception.”
