What’s all the buzz about???

Georgetown Ministry Center has been chosen by Georgetown University as the recipient of 2,000 pairs of donated socks for men and women experiencing homelessness in DC from socially-conscious sock label, Bombas! That’s 2,000 pairs of specially-engineered socks designed to specifically meet the needs of people who don’t have the luxury of putting on a clean pair of socks every day. An antimicrobial treatment ensures they don’t need to be washed as often, and reinforced seams and darker colors give them greater durability with less visible wear.

How did this happen?

Georgetown University’s involvement with and support of GMC dates back to GMC’s founding over 30 years ago. This year, the University will honor as their Entrepreneur of the Year Randy Goldberg, a Class of 2000 Business School graduate who is the Co-Founder of Bombas.  Inspired by a Salvation Army press release quote that said that socks are the most requested clothing item at homeless shelters in the U.S., Randy and his co-founder David Heath started Bombas, with the goal of donating a pair of socks for every pair sold.

As part of Georgetown’s Sponsorship of the Salesforce Higher Ed Summit at the Gaylord National Harbor on March 21-23, Georgetown University Information Services and their implementation partner, Appirio, will be giving away Bombas socks to highlight the plight of those experiencing homelessness and together, they have donated 2,000 pairs of socks to GMC to be distributed via our street outreach program, our winter shelter program and in our Center to men and women experiencing homelessness in the DC area!

GMC is incredibly grateful to Georgetown University for its ongoing support of our mission to end homelessness and to Bombas for its commitment to making an impact in our local community!

“Do not neglect hospitality, for through it some have unknowingly entertained angels.” (Heb 13:2)

After months of undergoing renovation, Georgetown Ministry Center opened its doors this morning to a new and improved day center space!

The renovation project has resulted in expanded square footage, a brand new, ADA-compliant shower, twice the number of washers and dryers and updated amenities throughout.

We are excited to announce that renovations to Georgetown Ministry Center are nearly complete and the Day Center will  reopen its doors on Monday, March 19 at 8am!

We invite all GMC guests to join us for a celebratory breakfast on Monday and to begin utilizing all of the updated amenities and services available after our completed renovation.

We look forward to seeing you in the new and improved Center!

Have you seen the now-viral photo captured just down the street from Georgetown Ministry Center last week that shows former VP Joe Biden interacting with one of GMC’s guests, a man experiencing homelessness?

A great example of how it only takes a moment to lend a helping hand — no matter who you are.
