We received our first donation (brand new amazing quality pajamas!) from Wear141, a local woman-owned start-up business providing comfort and community through clothing. Their brand celebrates individuality, inclusivity, and representation — core values we hold in high regard at WGB. Thank you so much for your partnership! 💜

Wishing you and your loved ones a very merry and bright holiday season 💚🌟

Our office and facilities will be closed December 23rd - January 5th. We look forward to returning rested and refreshed to hit the ground running for 2025!

Santa's Workshop 2024🎄🎁❄️

Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who donated and volunteered— this holiday magic would not have been possible without you. Your generosity and helping hands brought the spirit of Christmas to nearly 700 kids this year!!! It's always an absolute joy seeing moms pick out the perfect gifts for their kids, and we can only imagine their excitement when they open them up on Christmas morning! ❤️💚

A special note of thanks to our toy drive hosts, especially Dream Finders Homes - DC Metro Area who garnered enough support to donate 500 bikes and scooters!

Our partner, Loudoun Coalition on Women and Girls, is conducting the 2024 Voices of Loudoun Women Survey to highlight the challenges women face and the resources they need.

If you live in Loudoun County, please consider taking the survey and sharing your voice. Your input will help shape local decision-making and resource allocation, as previous surveys have influenced funding for workforce development, childcare, housing, food security, and more.

Please complete by December 31st. Your input is vital in sparking change!

Our "Voices of Loudoun Women Survey" is LIVE, and we need your feedback!

The results of this survey are used to understand needs in the community and help decision-makers allocate resources.

Christie, one of our devoted Diaper Pantry volunteers and a member of the Rotary Club of Vienna Virginia, applied for and was awarded a grant through Rotary District 7610 to be used in support of a service-oriented organization. We are so touched and thankful that she chose to use the grant for our Diaper Pantry!

THANK YOU Christie and Vienna Rotary for your support and generosity! You have truly made a difference in our community 💜🧷

Thank you to The Providencia Group for facilitating an engaging workshop on Trauma Informed Approaches to Supporting Survivors. Referral partners and staff members learned about heightening our awareness of how others' and our own personal experiences can influence delivery of care; as well as the importance of self-care in maintaining the best versions of ourselves to provide the highest level of service.

Our referral partners inspire us to be empathetic advocates and activists every day — they truly are the superheroes of our community! 🦸‍♀️

🌟 You have the power to change lives. 🌟

When we come together as a community, incredible things happen. Your generosity can provide a woman or child with the resources they need to rebuild their lives, restore their dignity, and move toward a brighter future. 💪💖

Together this Giving Tuesday, we can empower women to overcome challenges, find hope, and regain independence. Your gift, no matter the size, can create a ripple effect of positive change. PLUS our founders will match every dollar donated up to $20,000 so your gift will make double the impact! 🎁

Make a difference today. When we support one another, we rise together 💫

✨ What an Incredible Night! ✨

Last night, Women Giving Back was honored to accept the Community Foundation for Loudoun and Northern Fauquier Counties' 2024 Nonprofit Achievement Award at their Roots & Legacies event. We congratulate the other honorees Carol Sentina Barbe and J Hamilton Lambert from the Claude Moore Charitable Foundation whose work inspires us all.

We are deeply honored to have received this recognition, but this award isn’t just for us—it belongs to everyone who makes WGB possible.

To our amazing volunteers, who give their time, energy, and hearts so selflessly. To our nonprofit partners, who collaborate with us to meet the needs of women and children in crisis. And most importantly, to the women and families we are privileged to serve—this award is for you.

A special thank you to Moon Bounce Media for creating the incredible video that was played during the event, highlighting our work and vision for the future. If you missed it, check it out here: https://youtu.be/8FEITCwYp5I?si=F8t5nLJYgCAw7g9b

We are also thrilled to announce our very first endowment of $10,000, generously sponsored by Dewberry. Their support lays the foundation for sustainability and growth as we continue to empower lives and strengthen our community.

Thank you to the Community Foundation, and everyone who joined us last night, and to all who continue to stand by us in this mission.

Here’s to continuing to create hope, build connections, and strengthen our community—together. 💜💚
