Today is the Day to Help Us Do More in 24

Good morning Shakira,

The Day is Finally Here!

Do More 24 is the DMV’s largest annual fundraiser powered by the United Way of the National Capital Area and it is happening right now!

You can JOIN US, TODAY, May 17, 2023, until 11:59 PM!

By supporting an organization during today's Do More 24 online giving campaign, you will be providing organizations, like the GAFSC, additional financial resources needed to carry out their intended missions in their communities.

The generous gifts that you and others will provide the GAFSC today, will help ensure that we can continue to assist families who need ongoing circles of support—including, emergency support for food, transportation, childcare, and rental assistance to families.

Shante's Story

When Shante came to the GAFSC, she was confused, depressed, overwhelmed, and facing eviction. Her family support worker walked her through the process of receiving rental assistance. Our staff advocated for Shante and her kids when she did not have the ability to function at her best. Eventually, she obtained a new apartment and beds for the family.

"I am happy to say that these days are much better. I feel a lot more capable and productive in life. I have applied for financial aid and plan to register for classes this year to become a registered nurse. The Collaborative connected me to mental health services that I hope will keep me mentally healthy and allow me to stay on track and help me to be successful throughout my schooling.

No family should have to face hard times alone. The Collaborative is definitely the support that I needed and I hope that they can continue to be that to other families struggling with real-life problems."
