Please take action before Mon, July 14! Ask the DC Council to oppose the mayor's plan to send families back into congregate shelters, reject further harm to RRH families, & invest in housing vouchers that end #homelessness for DC's lowest-income residents! @WashLegalClinic

Thank you to Cal for selecting Playtime for his Bar Mitzvah project! He raised money and gathered books to create mini home libraries for Playtime children moving from shelter to housing. He also inspired people to donate welcome home baskets filled with home essentials. 🥰

It is the 10th anniversary of #RelishaRudd's abduction. We got to know Relisha during our programs at DCG shelter. Relisha may be missing, but we will never forget her & will continue doing everything we can to keep her on people's minds. @washingtonpost wapo.st/42ZYh2O

Thank you to @natchildrens for stopping by a Playtime program to lead activities with the children. They were excited to learn their artwork will be displayed at the museum this summer! Next, the museum will join us at two more Playtime programs. 👨🏾🎨 #playequity #playmatters

Playtime programs have restarted! We kicked the year off with vision boxes. Each child decorated a box to take home & store personal items. The boxes hold a personal mantra, mini journal, sensory toy, & memory gem. They help visualize the year ahead & consider what's important.

Most children in our programs are elementary-middle school aged, but we also have babies & toddlers. At one site, we keep a baby room to give them the attention they need. Help us keep it stocked with age-appropriate items by shopping our wish list! bit.ly/playtime-wishlist
