Since November 2015, 173 donors have raised over $12,800 and purchased nearly as many meals for homeless and low-income women in Washington, DC. In December 2019, we celebrated our largest single donation through GlobalGiving - $500! Thank you for your support!
People experience homelessness for all sorts of reasons; lack of affordable housing, medical emergencies, job loss, mental health concerns or the death of a loved one. Women often come to Bethany Women’s Center for meal and end up connecting to housing and a community that they return to even after their homelessness resolves. Michelle asked to share her story in her own words.
I have been coming to N Street Village for a period of two years. This experience has been a life changer for me, in a number of ways. The staff and friends I have met here have been there for me when I was going thru lots of hard times. I feel very blessed to have them in my life. I met my true Godmother here and sit at my favorite table (table 1 shark table) playing cards and talking trash, though in the spirit of love. I wish to have them in my life for a very long time, and I love them all very much. Thank you N Street Village for helping me get my life back.
