Living in the City 2025

Join us for Living in the City on Wednesday, October 8, 2025! We’re so excited for an evening of conversation and connection as we celebrate our community and hear the inspiring stories of families we serve.

Living in the City is our most important fundraising event of the year. Proceeds from the event directly support our families; not a cent is spent on event expenses or overhead. While we have seen a lot of uncertainty around our federal and local government funding this year, one thing we are sure of: our community’s commitment to helping DC families thrive, especially during challenging times.

Living in the City 2025 will take place in-person in on Wednesday, October 8 at 6 pm. Reserve your ticket or sponsor the event today!
