This summer, you can help area kids get ready for school by helping WHC Collects bring in everything a student will need.

With one click, you can put all the items together (less than $70) or select individual supplies and have them shipped directly to Temple (3935 Macomb St. NW, Washington, DC, 20016).

We’ll collect them here and bring them to our partners at Friendship Place’s The Brooks Short-Term Housing Facility. The Brooks is located in Ward 3, serving families experiencing homelessness. Families moving into the facility reside in a care-conducive environment where they can heal and start the process of rebuilding. In 2022, the Brooks served 335 people, including 192 children.
