Coming Up
NCRC's Canned food collection for Horton's Kids will be from November 13-17.
Horton's Kids empowers children growing up in one of DC's most violent, under-resourced communities so that they graduate from high school ready for success in college, careers, and life. Watch for the child-friendly flyer to be sent home early November.
