MLK Day at Hope and a Home!!!

Martin Luther King's spirit of community was alive and well at Hope and a Home on the holiday that celebrates his memory and legacy.

Hands On Greater DC Cares selected Hope and a Home as one of the beneficiaries of its Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service. Over 30 volunteers came to Hope and a Home headquarters to give it a good sprucing up. We were honored to have U.S. Office of Personnel Management Director John Berry and his staff as part of our volunteer team. Several offices were painted, the kitchen received a thorough cleaning, and furniture was rearranged. Rosa Mooten, Hope and a Home Office Manager, stated to the volunteers, "I am so thankful for your dedication. Because of your unselfish act of compassion, Hope and a Home will be better able to serve our families in a brighter, more pleasant work environment."

Hope and a Home would like to thank everyone at Greater DC Cares and to Rosa for coordinating this extensive project, and it could not have been done without our great volunteers.
