"As I entered the doors of N Street Village 12 years ago that was the beginning of my journey. My goals that I wanted to accomplish were to regain my independence and to reside in my own apartment. My goals were accomplished and met. And as the years go by, I accomplish even more.
I started volunteering in 2008 in the In-Kind-Donation Office. I also manage the clothing closet to make sure the ladies have their clothing and accessory needs meet in every aspect. During the week I facilitate two classes, on Tuesday (All About Me) and Thursday (Day by Day). We discuss the ladies’ goals, accomplishments, and any topic they feel comfortable with. Every other Sunday I manage the receptionist desk in the lobby.
Being here at N Street Village gives me the pleasure to interact with every woman that comes through the doors. I tell every woman that enters N Street Village to give yourself a chance."

Since November 2015, 157 donors have raised over $11,200 and purchased nearly as many meals for homeless and low-income women in Washington, DC. Thank you for your support.
Ms. Carlita, N Street Village and Bethany Women’s Center will be here for every woman experiencing homelessness in DC who comes through our doors looking for a meal, support getting back on their feet and something to look forward to.
