Yesterday one of our amazing volunteers, Nora, was chatting with a guest when she became alarmed at the expressed suicidal ideation.  Staff called 911 and the guest was transported to help.  Often people who are feeling suicidal want help.  Having an alert ear can make all the difference.

Check this out from NAMI about preventing suicide.

Take a few minutes with us to reflect on all that happened in 2014! Here is a month-by-month review of the amazing year we had: Before You Ring in the New Year

Today’s the day! Today is DO MORE 24!

Today is June 19. From midnight to midnight, thousands of people across DC will be doing more by giving generously to organizations all over the city. We hope you will take a few minutes to give to GMC on our Do More 24 giving page.

This 24-hour fundraising campaign is powered by the United Way and is designed to motivate community to get involved with local organizations. We’ve been inspired by sharing with all of you 24 ways that we do more, and we hope you will take advantage of the opportunity to end chronic homelessness by giving today.

Do More 24 is almost here!! Tomorrow, June 19, from midnight to midnight, please help us by encouraging your friends and family to give here. We CAN end homelessness, but it starts with your donation of as little as $24. Bring your lunch to work today and tomorrow and donate the $24 you would’ve spent on lunch to GMC.

Remember, midnight to midnight on Thursday is DO MORE 24!

In order to get ready for Do More 24 on June 19, we are sharing 24 different ways that we do more. We hope that on Thursday, you’ll be inspired to do more by giving to GMC through our Do More 24 page. If we have the greatest number of unique donors, we could win up to $15,000!

Today, we’d like to share with you #16-17 — GMC’s Winter Shelter.
