Our story
In 2002, the Stafford County Sheriff's Department conducted an assessment of the Olde Forge community, which was facing a high rate of crime and a growing number of social challenges. The evaluation revealed critical issues such as poverty, domestic violence, substance abuse, unsupervised children, and an increasing population of non-English speaking and refugee families. In response, the Sheriff's Department issued a call to action that led to the founding of Stafford Junction—a nonprofit organization rooted in faith and dedicated to enhancing the well-being of children and families in Stafford County’s low-income neighborhoods. Through programs focused on education, nutrition, and healthy living, Stafford Junction provides vital support and a pathway to a brighter future for those in underserved communities.
