Welcome to the Season of Giving!
'A season of generosity. A season of community.
And a moment for all of us to Give GOOD.
Every year, GOODProjects brings Southwest DC together for a series of meaningful holiday events that run from November 17 through January 1.
During this time, volunteers, partners, neighbors, and supporters join forces to uplift families, distribute meals, provide essential items, and ensure every child experiences joy for the holidays.
This is your full guide to everything happening during the Season of Giving.
