Friendship Place

A backpack can be more than a bag. For a child who has experienced homelessness, it can be a fresh start. Help Friendship Place provide students with the supplies, confidence, and stability they need to begin the school year ready to learn.

Help students begin the 2026–27 school year with dignity, confidence, and the tools to succeed. Support Friendship Place’s Annual Back-to-School Donation Drive today.

A home is more than four walls.
For many individuals and families moving into housing after experiencing homelessness, a working television can bring comfort, connection, routine, and a sense of normalcy to an otherwise empty apartment.
Friendship Place is currently seeking gently used TVs in working condition to support neighbors rebuilding their lives after homelessness.
Your unused TV could help make a new apartment feel like home. 📺💙
Email [email protected] if you can help.
Friendship Place is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and your donation may be tax-deductible as allowed by law.

Thank you to World Bank Group for inviting Friendship Place to participate in the annual World Bank Group Volunteer Awareness Expo! 🌍💙

We were grateful for the opportunity to connect with World Bank Group staff, share more about our mission to end homelessness in the Washington, DC region, and highlight meaningful ways volunteers can support our neighbors.

From meal support and donation drives to community engagement opportunities, volunteers play an essential role in helping Friendship Place create pathways toward stability, dignity, and hope.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our table, asked thoughtful questions, and showed interest in getting involved. We are excited to continue building partnerships that make a real difference for individuals and families experiencing homelessness.
