Our Partners
DC Neighbors values partnerships with local nonprofits within the community. Rather than reinventing the wheel, we want to join in the unique work that God is doing through each of these organizations. We choose partners who work toward rehabilitation and development within their communities, aiming to restore and reconcile people into right relationship with God, self, others, and the rest of creation. These nonprofits are passionate about the people they serve and it is a privilege for us to join them on mission.
