For 50 years, Arlington Thrive has been a bridge between neighbors in crisis and the support they need to move forward. This milestone isn’t just about the years—it’s about the people who make up this community, stepping up for each other in moments of need.  

James’ story is a powerful reminder of why this work matters.  

From Pain to Healing: The Power of Community Partnerships

James, 50, had spent years experiencing homelessness and struggling with unbearable dental pain that made daily life almost impossible. He needed urgent care—but like so many in our community, the cost of treatment put relief out of reach.  

That’s when the power of partnership changed everything.  

PathForward’s medical team connected James with Arlington Free Clinic for emergency dental care. But treatment requires funding, and that’s where neighbors like you stepped in. Through the Dr. Davis Medical Fund, Arlington Thrive covered the cost of James’ procedure.   

Because of this support, James is now pain-free, able to eat comfortably, and no longer at risk for dangerous complications.  

This Is What “Neighbors Helping Neighbors” Looks Like

James’ story is one of many. Every day, your generosity helps neighbors navigate medical hurdles, prevent evictions, keep the lights on for struggling families, and ensure that no one in Arlington falls through the cracks.  

As we celebrate 50 Years of Thriving, we invite you to be part of this legacy of neighbors helping neighbors.
