House of Ruth

Thank you, ABS Group, for helping our kiddos kick off the school year with all the essentials! With your generous contributions, you've not only filled their backpacks but also fueled their dreams. Here's to a year of learning, growing, and plenty of 'aha!' moments. We're thrilled to have you in our corner! ✏️📚

What do we mean when we say House of Ruth is “so much more than housing”? In the August edition of our "Note from Sandra," House of Ruth President & CEO Sandra Jackson dives into our holistic approach to empowering survivors. Click here to read more from Sandra's note: https://lnkd.in/dWmU5_Wh

Big thanks to the RSM US LLP, Washington National Tax DC office for a super successful in-kind donation drive of hygiene kits for the Madison Program. Each shower caddy contains a bouquet of items—soap to deodorant, and loofah to headphones. All items to give these women a fresh start. Join the RSM US team and make a direct impact in the lives of women, children, and families in DC—send an in-kind donation from our wish list: https://t.co/AEr0atRsVr The Madison Program provides transitional housing and holistic services to single women experiencing houselessness.

Thank you, Teeonah Brown + RSM US LLP, for your incredible generosity and dedication to making a difference in our community. The welcome baskets you assembled for the women at House of Ruth are more than just essential items—they are a powerful reminder that they are seen, valued, and supported. We are grateful for your partnership!

Do you remember getting dressed up for your first day of school? You went shopping with your parents, picked out the trendiest items, and then selected your favorite outfit for the first day of school. Sit in the joy of that memory. These children don't have that joy. But we can help! Please consider a donation from the below wishlist. It's not so they can dress to impress -- it's so they have one outfit that fits properly, because they grew out of last years and have nothing else. https://lnkd.in/eq8GYdF7 Thank you!

We all have memories of preparing for the first day of school. Yours might include the excitement of picking your new backpack, a fresh set of markers—but most importantly the clothes. Right now, 70 children in House of Ruth programs are getting ready for the first day of school at the end of August. They need your help. For less than $100, you can provide a full wardrobe—polos, pants, and shoes—for a child. You will bring joy to the kids and parents alike. Thank you! https://a.co/6SxfpEo

We need your help avoiding blow-out situations!👶   In all seriousness, our child development center Kidspace has an urgent need for diapers and pull-ups. Help us keep our little ones comfy and dry.    We need: - Diapers: Sizes 5 &6  - Pull-ups: Sizes 2T-6T   Mail your donations to House of Ruth at 5 Thomas Circle NW, Washington, DC 20005.
