Hypothermia Prevention

During the winter months of December through March, unsheltered homeless adults living around our community have a place to seek shelter from the cold weather. Cornerstones partners with Fairfax County to operate the North County Hypothermia Prevention Program (NCHP), one of three hypothermia prevention sites in Fairfax County.

The center works to prevent weather-induced illness and loss of life among unsheltered homeless adult men and women in our community. Unsheltered homeless people are those who, whether by choice or by lack of shelter space, live outdoors, in cars, or in other places unsuitable for human habitation.

Location

North County Human Services Building, 1850 Cameron Glen Drive Reston, VA 20190
Just ¼ mile from the Embry Rucker Community Shelter.  For more information call 703-437-1975. NCHP begins on December 1 until March 31 each winter. The program operates every night during this time frame, regardless of inclement weather and on all holidays.

Thank you to all of our meal contributors for the 2023-2024 season – over 4,800 hot, nutritious meals were provided and served to the shelter’s residents.

A few dates are still available for providing meals in the 2024-2025 hypothermia calendar.  Please contact Nate King to discuss this service opportunity.
