Every milestone is worth celebrating — especially when it represents another year of showing up for our neighbors. 💜

This September, we’re celebrating four members of the LifeStyles team on their work anniversaries:
🎉 Anderson Doreus — 1 year
🎉 Kenya Hill — 1 year
🎉 Joshua Gilbert — 1 year
🎉 Mark Saunders — 3 years

Thank you for the time, energy and compassion you bring to LifeStyles and to the people we serve. We’re grateful to have each of you on our team. Happy anniversary!

It’s a fresh start. That’s what it is. 🚿

A good shower washes away a lot of things. When we step out, clean and renewed, it’s an opportunity to move forward with a fresh outlook on life, ready to take on the next challenge.

If you’re homeless and ready for a fresh start, drop by the Waldorf West Branch of Charles County Public Library tomorrow. Consider it a gift to yourself.

Want to learn a new skill while giving back to your community?

LifeStyles is looking for volunteers for our 2027 Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program!

Each tax season, IRS-certified volunteers help individuals and families across Charles, Calvert and St. Mary’s prepare their taxes at no cost. And you don’t need previous tax experience to volunteer.

Training is tentatively scheduled for January 9 & 16, from 8am to 4pm, and you can participate in person or virtually. Volunteers then serve as available from January through April.

Interested? Contact Linda Carney at [email protected] to reserve your spot.

So what will our Youth Advisory Board do?

They will be the voice of young people across Southern Maryland, helping LifeStyles better understand the realities and the challenges that they see in their schools and their communities.

They’ll help inform and shape our initiatives and programs.

They’ll make a real contribution to improving life for countless families across Southern Maryland.

None of us make it through this life without traveling difficult roads.

Navigating dark times.

Doing battle with our own bodies and minds.

It’s part of being human.

So is rising above the struggle.

And we see it every day.

September is National Recovery Month, and we want to celebrate all those who have risen above and all those who are, right now, climbing back up.

Whether it’s addiction, substance abuse, mental health, trauma or another of the many challenges that may lie before you …

Know that there’s help along the way.

Know that there’s hope for better days.

Know that your transformation will be worth the struggle.

We see it every day.

The size of this gift is remarkable. But what means just as much to us is the partnership behind it.

The Wills Group has been one of our most consistent and generous supporters, standing alongside us year after year as we work to address homelessness, hunger and other challenges facing our neighbors.

Thank you, The Wills Group, for once again investing in our mission — and in our community. We are honored to have you as a partner and proud to celebrate 100 years with you.
