This Fall, local university student Paytan led 15 friends in making blankets for our resident children and writing lovely notes for our resident mothers. Thank you friends, and thank you Paytan!! The warm spirit of your gift will comfort and encourage St. Ann's Center families this winter and holiday season.

On November 13, St. Ann's Center for Children, Youth and Families was awarded a grant at The Congressional Baseball Game for Charity's Grants Reception! Sister Nancy Downing, CEO, and Ellen Toups, Manager, Annual Giving and Corporate Relations, were there to represent St. Ann's Center and accept the grant. Thank you, Congressional Sports for Charity, for generously supporting our mission through this grant. We are honored to be among the organizations supported through this year's game! *** About the Congressional Baseball Game for Charity: "Over the last century, the Congressional Baseball Game’s popularity has contributed to its evolution into a foundation called Congressional Sports for Charity. Created in 2016, Congressional Sports for Charity provides support to worthy and effective charities serving vulnerable children and families in the Washington DC area." - https://lnkd.in/gp3UyY33 #CongressionalBaseballGame #CongressionalBaseballGameforCharity #CongressionalSportsforCharity #congressionalbaseball #congressionalbaseballgame2024

Thank you for being one of the kind people who support the families healing, stabilizing, and growing to independence through St. Ann's programs. We are especially grateful for you during #HungerAndHomelessnessAwarenessWeek! *** Held each year the week before Thanksgiving, Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week "is designed to educate the public, draw attention to the problem of poverty, and build up the base of volunteers and supporters for local anti-poverty agencies. Groups spend this week generating publicity about hunger and homelessness and holding a series of events to engage their communities." (Source: https://hhweek.org) #HHWeek #HHWeek2024

This #GivingTuesday, we invite you to help support families at St. Ann's Center through our annual "Give Your Cup" campaign. The idea is simple: for less than the cost of a daily coffee, you can positively impact the families healing, stabilizing, and growing to independence through St. Ann's programs. A cup of coffee is so much more than a warm drink. It also symbolizes care, connection, and even hope! Here's how you can give these same gifts to mothers and their children at St. Ann's: https://lnkd.in/eftFJKUR

Sister Nancy Downing and St. Ann's Center's Board of Directors cordially invite you, your family and friends to our Annual Christmas Open House. Join us as we celebrate the Christmas season and take a tour of St. Ann's Center's programs.

Happy #WorldKindnessDay from St. Ann's Center! Thank you for being one of the kind people who make our mission possible.

We had a great time meeting folks at @NOAA's CFC Charity Fair this week! Anastasia Sissamis, our Community Outreach & Volunteer Coordinator, represented St. Ann's and enjoyed speaking with NOAA team members about our mission and the difference that #CFC makes for our programs and the clients we work alongside. Thank you for having us, NOAA!

Thank you for supporting mothers and their children at St. Ann's Center as they begin healing from disruptive and traumatic experiences, and start to build hopeful new futures in a caring, supportive environment. #HomelessnessAwarenessMonth #youthhomelessnessawarenessmonth #hungerandhomelessnessawarenessweek
