We had so much fun making pizzas with Ms. Lauren! We’re thankful for our partnership with YoungLives, and for the opportunity to come alongside teen parents with encouragement, helpful resources, and practical essentials.
Last month we hosted the annual Job Fair! In partnership with Anacostia River Church and Better Together, we welcomed 345 attendees who have faced barriers to employment. Each participant received an orientation that included words of encouragement and a gospel presentation. Career coaches were available to offer support and resume assistance, and there was a free meal afterward. One attendee shared that after 25 years of incarceration, he left having made a connection with UPS that he was very excited about! We are so thankful for a God of second chances, and we praise Him for the stories of hope that He is writing!
