Hot dogs, firefighters, a bouncy house, and a piñata, what more could you ask for? Our Family Festival was everything we hoped it would be and more. Seeing our community come together like this is why we do what we do. 💙🤍

What an incredible night! 🙌💙

On March 27th, our Bridges to Success teens joined hundreds of community members at Kenmore Middle School for the Keep Kids Learning Assembly. A powerful gathering in support of ongoing funding for Arlington after-school programs📚

Students stood up and shared how after-school programs have changed their lives, and the room was filled with so much heart. We were proud to have all 5 County Board members and the majority of the APS School Board present to hear directly from the young people they serve🤍💙

After-school programs matter. Our kids matter. Let’s keep building bridges to brighter futures together💙✨

Faith in action! 🏃🦃 We are so blessed to be the host of the Arlington Turkey Trot community, which presented PathForward with a $15,000 donation to help Arlington neighbors move from crisis to stability.

The Arlington Turkey Trot is about more than a race. It’s about a community coming together to support organizations doing critical work for our neighbors.

The Trot community was proud to provide a $15,000 donation to PathForward, whose team works every day to help individuals and families experiencing homelessness move toward stable housing and long-term independence.

From emergency shelter to housing and support services, plays an essential role in ensuring members of our community have the opportunity to rebuild their lives.

It was a privilege for Scott Seaton of and me to spend time with their team and present this donation on behalf of the entire Turkey Trot community.

Every runner, volunteer, donor, and sponsor helps make this impact possible. 🏃‍♂️🦃
