We are so grateful to be part of such a caring community! So many folks shared the love during Valentine's Week!

Thanks to Solace Outpost in Falls Church and Champagne Velvet (pictured below) for hosting a Valentine's Concert Friday night! $1,400 was raised to help survivors in our community!

Children and families of Arlington Montessori House donated special sensory stuffed animals, toys, and weighted blankets (pictured below) to assist our children in counseling - and made pretty Valentine's cards, too!

The Neighborhood Barbershop has been collecting tips and donations from their patrons for the past two months and donated $318 last week!

Conrad Hotel in Washington, DC, chose Doorways to be the recipient of their "Cookie-grams" fundraiser for February and raised $1,137 - because giving back is always on the menu at Conrad.

Thank you all for your amazing generosity - and the love that you share!
