Bring Joy and Hope This Holiday Season.

Dear Daughters Team and Community,

As the season of giving approaches, we are reaching out to ask for your support in making the holidays brighter for the incredible girls who the criminal justice system has impacted. These girls, who have shown resilience and strength in the face of challenging circumstances, deserve to feel celebrated, uplifted, and surrounded by hope—not defined by their parents' situations.

This year, we are organizing a Holiday Gift Drive to provide meaningful support and joy to these girls. The gifts will range from essential items like coats, school electronics, wellness experiences, and mental health support to fun "adventures" and gift cards that allow them to choose what they need most.

Gift Distribution & Reunion Event

Date: Monday, December 16, 2024
Location: Washington, D.C. |  THEARC Theatre in Ward 8

This event will not only distribute gifts but also serve as a heartwarming reunion for families who participated in the Date With Dad program. For some, it will be the first in-person connection since 2020, as participants have moved on to another grade level and pursued college and other endeavors. This gathering will mend hearts, rekindle connections, and bring smiles to girls who inspire us every day with their courage to keep going despite their fathers' incarceration.
