516 Project, Inc is a Christian based 501c3 non-profit construction ministry based in Fredericksburg, Va. Founded in 2016. Our ministry shares the love of Jesus with people in need. We work with individuals, churches and businesses to impact our community by glorifying God through service.
We build access to hope by providing critical home repairs and accessibility modifications, including wheelchair ramps and accessible bathrooms, for individuals and families in need. We currently serve Fredericksburg, Richmond, the Northern Neck, and surrounding areas of Virginia, as well as Panama City, Florida—and we are prayerfully working to expand our reach.
We respond to natural disasters across the Southeastern United States, coming alongside families and communities in the earliest stages of recovery. This is where we begin building access to hope.
Our teams help restore safety and stability by clearing debris, removing hazardous trees, completing flood muck-outs, tarping roofs, and addressing other urgent needs.
Our response teams are based in Central Virginia and along Florida’s Gulf Coast.
Servings of Hope is our feeding ministry focused on meeting both physical and spiritual needs. We provide hot meals, encouragement, and prayer to individuals and families in our community—reminding them they are seen, loved, and not alone.
We are actively reviewing and assessing all applications as they are received. If you are in need of home repairs, please complete our application for consideration. Our project committee reviews applications regularly and will provide updates as your request moves forward.
Please be patient with us as we are a volunteer-operated organization, and it may take some time for a volunteer to contact you.
Our goal is to serve as many individuals and families as our resources allow. We look forward to connecting with you to learn how we may build access to hope in your life. While our volunteers will do their very best and we prayerfully consider every request, we are unable to guarantee that we can complete work on every home.
Serve Your Community and Share God’s Love
Looking for a way to make a difference and share your faith? The 516 Project helps people in need of home repairs who can’t afford them or face physical barriers, all while sharing the love of Jesus. We have opportunities for all skill levels, so there’s a way for everyone to serve.
As a volunteer-driven organization, we rely on people like you. While many of our workdays focus on home repairs and construction, there are also opportunities to serve in other ways—photography, home visits, material delivery, paperwork, letter writing, marketing, and more. Contact us to learn about current needs.

Winter Snow Storm Response – Fredericksburg, VA & Surrounding Areas
A snowstorm is on the way, and 516 Project is ready to help our community stay safe.
Our Primary Response:
We will respond to storm-related hazards such as fallen limbs and blocked access points that prevent safe movement in and out of homes.
Secondary Support (When Deployed):
When teams are deployed for a primary response, we will also assist with snow and ice removal from wheelchair ramps, entryways, sidewalks, and driveways to help seniors, individuals with disabilities, and families safely exit their homes and access emergency services.
If you or someone you know needs help, wants to volunteer, or would like to support our efforts:
Apply for Help – Let us know if you need assistance clearing storm debris.
Volunteer – Join our teams on the ground to make homes safe and accessible. Please dress for winter weather, wear warm layers, and bring closed-toe shoes (steel-toed preferred), water, snacks, and a packed lunch. If you have shovels or warm work gloves, bring those too.
Donate – Support our snow storm response and ongoing community projects. Every gift helps us provide safe access to those in need.
#BuildAccessToHope
We are currently not accepting new assistance applications. Our application process will reopen in January 2025. .
