Rumi House took part in the Social Services Expo held on Saturday, February 28, at the Fairfax County Government Center in Virginia. The event, hosted by James R. Walkinshaw, Delegate for the 11th District of the House of Representatives, brought together nearly fifty governmental, nonprofit, and community organizations.
During visits to the Rumi House representatives introduced the organization’s programs and activities, highlighting its educational initiatives, cultural and literary gatherings, youth and family programs, and its broader role in strengthening connections between the immigrant community and local institutions.
According to the organizers, the purpose of the expo was to build connections between local residents and organizations providing social, educational, and cultural services, and to facilitate direct access to community resources.
The participation of Rumi House alongside approximately fifty organizations—including government agencies, nonprofits, and charitable institutions—demonstrated its active role within the region’s social services network. The expo provided an important opportunity to strengthen direct engagement between service providers and Fairfax residents and to increase public awareness of available regional resources.
