Help the Homeless Art Contest

Every year, Fannie Mae hosts the annual Help the Homeless Art Contest, a leading component of the Help the Homeless Program’s public awareness and fundraising campaign. This year, we invite students from area schools and children’s organizations nationwide in grades K through 8 to participate in the 2013 Help the Homeless Art Contest.

The 2013 Help the Homeless Art Contest encourages students to express their artistic talents to produce creative artwork that represent home. There will be one student chosen to have their artwork featured on the Help the Homeless website, in social media, and on other promotional items.

Artwork must be submitted by Friday, March 29, 2013. Please click the links below to read the official guidelines, the waiver, and to view past winners.

YOGA FOR THE HOMELESS

As part of Fannie Mae’s Help the Homeless campaign, Georgetown Ministry Center will be holding a yogathon to raise awareness about homelessness and to provide a fun and active way to support the good work that they do.

The first yoga session will begin at 1PM on the lawn of Grace Church and will be instructed by yoga teachers from the local area. (More details to come.) Each session will be 45 minutes long and will start on the hour (1pm, 2pm, 3pm)

Mats will be provided, but participants are more than welcome to bring their own. There will be multiple sessions throughout this three-hour period and participants are welcome to come and go as they please. Come enjoy a beautiful fall day in October on the lawn of Grace Church at 1041 Wisconsin Ave, NW. In case of inclement weather, the event will be moved from the lawn to inside the church.
