Vision of Service: Tysons Rotary is proud to collaborate with Brigade of Mercy (BoM), a nonprofit organization founded by Tysons Rotary Past President Ambreen Rizvi, that provides humanitarian relief to the destitute, homeless, orphans, refugees, and victims of war. Locally, BoM has helped more than 200 Afghan refugee families; built a food pantry at a school in Arlington serving low-income students; assisted teens, young mothers, and homeless youth at Second Story in Vienna (pictured here); and provided food and supplies to residents of New Hope Housing. Tysons Rotarians helped BoM celebrate its five-year milestone at a reception at the McLean Community Center on Sept. 24, 2023. Congratulations to Ambreen and her Brigade of Mercy!
