Donate dry cleaned women's suits to Dress for Success, which helps low-income women in the D.C. area who are seeking employment. You also can donate gently used shoes, blouses, and accessories such as handbags and unused hosiery (but for fashion’s sake, please avoid "flesh-toned" pantyhose--we have yet to meet the person whose flesh actually matches those). Note: This is not a dumping ground for your 1980's has-been wardrobe. So, before donating an item, ask yourself this question: Would YOU hire someone who showed up for an interview in a mint green short-sleeved polyester suit and white pumps? Located blocks from BLD DC's Rock-n-Roll Hotel, drop off your gently used suit before heading over to shake it with the rest of your community. more info here.
the Washington Animal Rescue League - is home to one of the world’s most progressive animal rehabilitation centers and no-kill shelters -- massage therapists for animals, classical music piped through the shelter to relax the animals, steel-bar cages replaced by comfortable and attractive doggie dens, cat condos, and puppy pads; cats walk freely around the cat room. on a regional level, the Shelter Animal Relief Effort (ShARE) brings together the area's animal welfare organizations to help alleviate the effects of the animal overpopulation crisis. It takes a village to care for our animals, not just our kids, and WARL is providing a safe village in our city for the dignity of our local homeless animals awaiting adoption.
The Washington Youth Garden sows the seeds of interest in gardening, horticulture, and environmental issues during the school year with carefully designed lessons and activities that are delivered in the classrooms of several schools in the area. The children who participate in these activities are in grades 3, 4, and 5. When spring arrives, students who have developed a strong interest in the program begin planting their own small garden plot in the Youth Garden at the U.S. National Arboretum. As summer progresses, they experience the drama of nature that is often missing in urban life. They enjoy the wonder of watching seeds sprout, nurturing growth, and proudly harvesting the fruits of their labor. They also experience the challenge of weeds, the attack of pests that is so often met by the counterattacks of beneficial insects, and the cycle of death, decay, and rebirth as they manage their plots
