The HOPE Foundation Re-entry Network, DC Department of Corrections Smart Start Training Academy D.C. United has partnered with our annual Season of Giving Initiative. Together, we are creating a safe and supportive environment for parents' well-being.

The Season of Giving Initiative is dedicated to supporting children and families of incarcerated parents, and we were honored to bring so many smile to our residents at the Department of Corrections, the evening was filled with card making, music, and a empowerment session.

Thanks to the The Washington Informer for capturing the moment.

This initiative offers parents the opportunity to come together in a supportive circle, where they can, not only learn from each other but also share strategies for healing and growth. By collaborating with our community partners, we are confident that we will make a positive impact on the residents and their families.

Together, we can make a difference! ❤️🤲🏾🤝
