Horton’s Kids empowers children growing up in DC's most under-resourced communities so that they graduate from high school ready for success in college, career and life. They hope to renovate a recently purchased building to be a central community center that will anchor programs, services, and resources in the community.

Rebuilding Together of Alexandria/Washington, D.C. seeks to revitalize the Fort Stanton Recreation Center's three outdoor gardening areas. Each area was once well-maintained by the Department of Parks and Recreation and community stakeholders who were committed to the idea of sustainability and sufficiency. But COVID-19 sent everyone home, all areas became unused and unmaintained, and funding priorities shifted for the Department.
