The Connection was nominated by Dean Klein, Executive Director of the Fairfax County Office to Prevent and End Homelessness, and the award springs from the Nov. 13 special edition coverage about the complex challenges of the homeless in Fairfax. Coverage of the issues included a "moving array of impactful photos and informative articles" that conveyed the scope of the challenges faced by those who are homeless in our community and the collaborative work of Partnership to End Homelessness. The award also cited other examples of the Connection’s community partnership including "weekly highlights of neighborhood school activities and events, Thanksgiving story called ‘Season of Giving’ that featured 12 gifts that give back to the community, and extensive coverage of the Stuff the Bus Food campaign."
