Our dining hall staff hosted the SOME Fashion Show, featuring SOME clients as models who hand-picked their outfits from the SOME Clothing Room. Every piece came from our collection of hundreds of fashionable options for all sizes, including clothing, shoes, and accessories. When people have what they need, they shine.

Earlier this month, our SOME Center for Employment Training (CET) trainees visited Goldman Sachs for a financial literacy and career development workshop where they gained valuable insight into financial literacy and professional career development.

They learned strategies for budgeting, saving, and building financial stability, and heard firsthand career stories from Goldman Sachs professionals. The visit wrapped up with a tour of the penthouse floor and photos overlooking the DC skyline. This visit reinforced CET's commitment to providing learning experiences that extend beyond the classroom and prepare trainees for lifelong success. By combining financial education with career exposure, the Goldman Sachs visit equipped trainees with knowledge and confidence that will support their future careers and economic mobility.

Meet Oliver Swain, an 8-year-old change maker who is already building a more compassionate world.
For his science fair project, "Ade vs Aid," Oliver got curious about generosity and decided to test it out for himself. Earlier this winter, he had launched "Cocoa for a Cause," a fundraising hot cocoa stand. Oliver’s Ade vs Aid science fair project won first place in second grade at John Lewis Elementary School !

Combined, these two projects raised $200 for SOME's mission to serve our neighbors in need. Oliver, we cannot wait to see what you build next. Thanks for supporting SOME’s mission.

SOMEs CET's (Center for Employment Training) Bell Ringing Ceremony brought our community together to celebrate trainees who secured full-time careers in healthcare and building trades.

Each graduate shared their journey; from the challenges they faced to the moment they walked into CET ready for a fresh start. Then they proudly rang the bell, marking a new chapter for themselves and their families. Every bell ring represents increased economic stability, career growth, and a step toward breaking the cycle of poverty.
