New post coming soon

I'm so excited to report that as of today the clothing request for Homestretch has been filled! Thanks to everyone who participated - in a small way, you've made a big difference to one local family.

And I've received a request from another organization which I will post later this week.

How it Works

Here's how this works. I'll post specific needs from organizations in the DC area - these will be specific and tangible needs from real people in need (via legitimate non-profits). You choose the ones that are of interest to you and use the comment feature or e-mail to let me know you'd like to fulfill a posted need. I'll post a comment when a specific need has been fulfilled.


All donations will be tax-deductible and I'll handle as much of the pickup/drop off as I can.
