Arlington Thrive is a non-profit organization based in Arlington, Virginia that provides same-day emergency financial assistance to county residents experiencing sudden crises such as unemployment or illness. The organization serves the working poor, the elderly, and people with disabilities on fixed incomes, as well as those who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, with families with children given the highest priority; roughly one-third of those served are children. It operates as a safety net to stabilize housing, health, and employment so clients can regain firmer financial footing and thrive in the community. In 2023, Arlington Thrive announced leadership changes with Melanie Anderson appointed as Executive Director, and it launched the Thrive Together campaign to promote social wellness in the community. These developments reflect the organization's ongoing role in Arlington County as a direct provider of emergency financial assistance to residents in crisis.
