In a powerful demonstration of service and community impact, the Top Ladies of Distinction, Incorporated (TLOD), Fairfax County Chapter Interest Group provided critical support to the Emery Rucker homeless community in Reston, Virginia. With over 35 dedicated members participating, the interest group successfully fed more than 150 individuals with hot meals, stocked the shelter’s pantry with groceries, and donated much needed clothing items for residents in need.
