Neighbors,
Normally this time of year our office would have just seen many of you at our annual Ward 5 holiday party. While that wasn't possible this year, I look forward to renewing that tradition next year. Many of our neighbors need our support this holiday season, I am proud of my office and community partners that helped us hold a Ward 5 Toy and Meal Giveaway that past Saturday. Our team was able to hand out over 500 toys, and in partnership with Firefighters Union Local 36 and StepAfrika delivered more than 700 hot meals to Ward 5 residents and 500 packages of PPE in the Brentwood neighborhood. On Monday, I was at the Children’s Guild Public Charter School giving out masks, backpacks, and sneakers generously provided by Russell Westbrook. I also handed out toys with volunteers from Purpose Is Life and Georgetown Prep to families in the Langston Carver community.
Despite this year's unprecedented challenges, I have been inspired to see our community stand up to support one another. As we move into 2021 I will continue calling for an equitable recovery from this COVID-induced recession and fight for further investments in Ward 5.
My family and I want to wish you a safe and happy holiday season, and I look forward to working together for a brighter New Year.
In service,
Kenyan
