Stories
Bravely Breaking Free
“Jill” was alienated from her kids, living in the woods with a violent boyfriend and self-medicating with drugs and alcohol when we first met her over a decade ago. She cycled in and out of detox and domestic violence shelters for years, never able to break free.
Something To Give
Jalissa looked like a deer in the headlights. I could tell it was her first day at the Lamb Center, and I briefly introduced her to the services available. Jalissa explained that she was newly homeless, having lived in her car for the past three months.
Kathryn’s Story
“The environment of love, of being able to walk into the Lamb Center and feel that I wasn’t being judged, that I really felt the love of God here,” Kathryn shares, is what made the difference in empowering her to start her journey of hope and transformation.
Prince’s Story
When Prince was released from incarceration, he was instantly homeless. At the Lamb Center, he received food, facemasks, and other assistance. “I know God has a lot of plans for me and I know that the Lamb Center is part of God’s plan in my life,” he said.
Workplace Giving & Matching Gift Programs:
The Lamb Center is proud to be a beneficiary of United Way (#9681) and the Combined Federal Campaign of the National Capital Area (CFC #86867). Please consider supporting us through your workplace giving program. Many employers match charitable donations made by their employees. If your employer has such a program, you can double or even triple the size of your gift to The Lamb Center.
“When I came to TLC and was invited to sit at the table and I did, the world changed. (I can’t describe the feeling. The world became still and I knew that something powerful had happened when I put down my urge to bolt for the door and sat down.) I want to learn how to come alive and be God’s hands as you are at TLC. The staff and volunteers moving invisibly thru us like angels, it’s amazing. You all are ‘Saviors of damaged creatures, nurturers of transformation.'”
– Michelle, a Lamb Center Guest
