Our story
In 2002, the Stafford County Sheriff’s Department conducted an assessment of the Olde Forge community, uncovering a high rate of crime and growing 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 inspired the creation of Stafford Junction, a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the well-being of children and families in Stafford County’s low-income neighborhoods. Today, through programs focused on education, empowerment, and healthy living, Stafford Junction provides vital support and a pathway to a brighter future for underserved communities.
