Thankful for the generous support of National Capital Bank 💙

This year more than ever, we have been incredible inspired by our community organizations who have faced this year’s highs, lows and everything in-between with grace, grit and courage. They have persevered through countless obstacles to provide essential resources and services to those in need, illustrating a steadfast commitment to serve our community no matter the circumstances.

In lieu of our Annual Holiday Open House, the NCB Foundation is honored to donate $20,000 to benefit the following organizations whose annual events and initiatives have been impacted by the pandemic: Barracks Row, Capitol Hill Cluster School PTA, National Capital Treatment & Recovery, My Sister's Place, Inc., and Ready, Willing & Working.

Thank you for your business and confidence in our bank. We wish you a happy, healthy and prosperous new year and look forward to continuing our work with you in 2021 and beyond. #NationalCapitalBank #BankOnUs #HappyHolidays #CharitableGiving

Day #3: Ready, Willing & Working
👋
Ready, Willing & Working (RWW) empowers individuals to break the cycles of homelessness, welfare dependency and criminal recidivism through a paid-work rehabilitation program. RWW offers a holistic approach and supportive services that allow participants to achieve permanent self-sufficiency. WW is the holistic approach that #WashDC needs to provide the Continuum of Care for those who are currently living on the streets, in DC shelters and returning to their neighborhoods after years of incarceration.

Happy #GivingTuesday! This year the COVID-19 pandemic has presented challenges to us all. Without the ability to host our annual fundraising gala, Magic & Miracles, Ready, Willing & Working is experiencing an unprecedented need for financial support.

For nearly 13 years, RWW had been proving that the most effective solution to homelessness and criminal recidivism is the opportunity for paid work and supportive services. With the help of contributions from generous donors, RWW has opened the door for hundreds of men to become and remain responsible citizens, fathers to their children, and role models for their community.

Together we are continuing to provide opportunities for people who so desperately want to work, to lift themselves out of poverty, to escape destructive cycles and to be included in mainstream society.

Thank you for considering Ready, Willing & Working on this Giving Tuesday! http://www.rwwdc.org/donate/

For the past 11 years, the Annual Magic & Miracles Gala has been a critical event for raising funds for Ready, Willing & Working. We are unable to hold the gala this year due to the pandemic and need your support more now than ever.

The Capitol Hill Swag Fundraiser is an emergency response to the unprecedented need caused by COVID-19. All sales help RWW continue to provide workers with supportive services such as weekly case management group meetings, one-on-one counseling and transportation funds.

With your Capitol Hill Swag purchase or additional donation, the men and women in RWW can continue to become self-sufficient and contributing members of society and enrich the communities they live in.

Thank you and please share the fundraiser with friends and family!

Our Clean Team members are important essential workers and we are so thankful for them!

The Adams Morgan Partnership Clean Team has been working hard during these unprecedented times. With enhanced cleaning and sanitation protocols in place and while practicing social distancing, the team has continued to remove trash from the neighborhood while sanitizing our public spaces as often as possible. Trash collection and cleanliness remain essential and takes on new importance amid efforts to minimize the spread of COVID-19. Clean Team members, thank you for all that you're doing, we appreciate it! #AdamsMorgan #CleanAndSafe #DCTogether
