2010 Annual Report
Special Thanks to our 2011 Mayor’s Annual Senior Holiday Celebration Partner Sponsor, AARP
We would like to thank our presenting sponsors of our 2011 Annual Awards & Fundraiser Event for their generous support of the community and Family Matters:
We appreciate your continued support!
Welcome to Family Matters of Greater Washington!
Some of you may still remember us under our former name of Family and Child Services of Washington, D.C., Inc., but we recently changed our name to represent the one thing that matters most to us…Families! Our programs and services are geared to support the families of our community and we feel that our new name reflects the true essence of what we do and what we believe in. With this name change comes a new look for our organization as we strive to increase our visibility across the region.
While a strong and stable family is one of life’s blessings, it is not one shared by all…that’s where we come in. At Family Matters of Greater Washington, we provide a “family” for those in need with accessible and affordable social services for all ages. In these uncertain times, a tragic turn of events can put even a strong family at risk. But one thing is for certain, we are here to help – through our resources you can obtain parental education, counseling, adoption and foster care assistance, and services to aid seniors. For a complete list of our programs and services, please review the What WE do matters section of our website.
We have been working to uphold our mission to “create brighter future for all ages…” since 1882. That’s 128 years of providing reliable service to the Greater DC community! And we will continue to uphold that mission in the years to come, but we can’t do it alone. There is a shift in responsibility and a greater understanding of our need to support the most vulnerable among us. And we need your help to do so. To learn more about how you can help Family Matters of Greater Washington continue to provide the services that so many have come to depend on, please visit the What YOU do Matters section of our website.
Here at Family Matters of Greater Washington, we believe progress is impossible without change. So as we strive to live by our motto of “Be More, Do More, Touch More”, we will continue to change to meet the needs of those that we serve!
We would love to get to know you! Please plan to attend one of our events or fundraisers soon.
Family Matters participates in both Combined Federal Campaign (#52358) and United Way (#8093). You may find us listed under our old name: Family and Child Services of Washington, D.C.
