The Platform of Hope is a pilot initiative working with economically vulnerable families of color in Ward 1 to self-direct their goals, connect to services and build strong social networks. We’re proud to be partnering with 60 families and anchor institutions Jubilee Housing, Jubilee JumpStart, Mary’s Center and Sitar Arts Center to collaboratively build a more equitable community in Adams Morgan…. and beyond!

The 2021 Online Community Auction supports our work with families most disproportionately impacted by the pandemic-- on top of existing disparities in health, education, socio-economically and more. Our auction, like our model, highlights the innate talents of members of our community and seeks to connect us together in response to a year+ of social distancing. Join our community, be uplifted and support the resiliency of DC families!
