The Light House- A Homeless Prevention Support Center

Our mission is to rebuild lives with compassion by providing shelter and services to prevent homelessness and empower people as they transition toward employment, housing, and self-sufficiency.

Our vision is to be a national model for how a community cares for its neighbors experiencing homelessness. We strive to break the cycle of homelessness by providing a place of belonging, life-changing programs, and a broad continuum of support to people who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.

Shepherd's Table

At Shepherd's Table, we address food insecurity and homelessness through an array of programs designed to both meet immediate needs and provide sustained social support. Our mission is to improve quality of life, create a pathway towards self-sufficiency, and inspire hope for the most vulnerable. We envision a DMV where lives are transformed with nourishment, empowerment and care. As an organization, we’re defined by four key values: community, acceptance, reliability and teamwork.

    I am the Founder and Executive Director of Connect & Serve, a growing nonprofit based in Prince George’s County, MD. While reviewing your foundation’s website, I noticed that there is little information about initiatives in our county.

    In Prince George’s County, there are 15 Safeway stores, but only three are located around low-income areas: Oxon Hill, Clinton, and Hyattsville. These neighborhoods are surrounded by community schools that could greatly benefit from a partner like Safeway.

    Connect & Serve would love to volunteer with a Safeway location in these communities to help support local families and schools. I would like to understand whether volunteer opportunities are coordinated through your foundation or if this is something we should discuss directly with the store’s general manager?

    We are eager to contribute and help create a meaningful impact alongside Safeway in these communities. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your guidance on how best to move forward.
