Individual Partners
Doorways has created long lasting partnerships with individuals in our community who have made the commitment to ensure Doorways can provide vital support services to families in crisis in Arlington and Northern Virginia. These partnerships are both formal and informal and fall into a variety of categories from individuals who give monetary donations to support families on a monthly or annual basis to individuals who donate new or gently used items our families need.

Brighter Futures Society
I have had the pleasure of being involved with Doorways for Women and Families for nearly 6 years. Of all the organizations with which to get involved, Doorways is the most committed, effective and well-run organization I have found, so I keep coming back, year after year. Their heart-felt commitment to the needs of local women and children is not only inspiring, but life-changing. Without Doorways, women and children in need simply would not receive the care, support and opportunities they deserve. And without generous support from those of us more fortunate, there would be no Doorways.

The Leadership Circle
The rebuild of the Freddie Mac Foundation Family Home was a tremendous success, but the project was never about bricks and mortar. It’s about having the capacity to serve even more families. I joined the Leadership Circle to help sustain Doorways’ continuing response to the growing need for services in our community.

Good Neighbor Club
For several years, I’ve written a monthly check to Doorways. Now Doorways has initiated a Good Neighbor Giving Program that allows me to automatically donate monthly using my credit card. This convenience works for me and ensures my steady commitment to charitable service. Please join me as a Good Neighbor; our community needs us!

Volunteers
I have found that whatever I give Doorways through my volunteering, they give as much back to me in a sense of fulfillment and personal reward. It’s an equal and mutually beneficial relationship, just as any good volunteering partnership should be.
