Dedicated supporters of Georgetown Ministry Center (GMC)’s mission to end homelessness, will gather for the 19th annual Spirit of Georgetown benefit this fall.

The fundraiser, co-chaired by Sara Stone-Psihas and James Blue, will be held on Thursday, October 11 from 6:30 PM-8:30 PM at a local Georgetown home. It will raise a great share of funding for Georgetown Ministry Center’s programs and honor the Rev. John Graham for his long-time devotion to GMC and his leadership on the board of directors.

Rev. Graham serves at Grace Episcopal Church. Under his leadership, Grace Church has served as a spiritual refuge and source of community to people experiencing homelessness, many of whom frequent GMC. Grace Church hosts a weekly meal program for the homeless, Grace’s Table, which also includes an optional Bible study.

The Spirit of Georgetown fundraiser was created as an effort to unite the Georgetown community around GMC’s mission to end homelessness and to celebrate continued service to the neighborhood’s homeless community.

Benefit committee sponsorship levels range from $500 to $5,000 and individual tickets can be purchased for $225, or $100 for young professionals between the ages of 21 and 40. Those interested in attending, can donate online at spiritofgeorgetown.org or mail a check made payable to Georgetown Ministry Center at 1041 Wisconsin Ave. NW, Washington, D.C. 20007.
