Freddie Mac Foundation Family Home Opens to Clients

Three years of dreams, dedication and development by Doorways’ Executive Director Linda Dunphy and her staff have finally come to fruition. This past November, Doorways held a dedication for the Freddie Mac Foundation Family Home and in December, families started moving in to this place that many will call home for short periods during the years to come.

While the building is complete, there is still much to do. The food pantry needs to be filled every week (not only with food, but toiletries, cleaning supplies and paper products); utility bills paid; critical support services to be provided and much more.

There are many ways to help. Please consider a cash contribution or in-kind gift to help Doorways open the doors to a new life for homeless women, children and families. Your support will also help Doorways meet our Kresge Foundation Challenge whereby Doorways must raise $800,000 by July 1, 2008 in order to leverage a one-time $400,000 grant.

For more information on the Kresge Challenge and how you can make a difference in the lives of homeless women, children and families, please contact Donor Relations Director Kelly Ferris at kferris@doorwaysva.org, 703-522-8858, ext. 14.
