COT

– This holiday season, please consider booking some time with a volunteer organization and help those in need, in fear, and experiencing loneliness
– The sweep of unhoused people across DC didn’t create new housing, it pushed people into MC, PG, Arl, and Alex
– ICE Raids have many families in fear – kids staying out of school and parents staying out of work
– This time of year is also known to amplify loneliness – esp for elderly who might be shut in, for those estranged or separated from their families, going through divorce, etc
– Lots of organizations are seeking volunteers and service opportunities are usually family friendly
