Help Hill Havurah Support Everyone Home DC

Join Hill Havurah in supporting Everyone Home DC’s 2021/22 Back to School Initiative. Everyone Home DC (EHDC) is an organization dedicated to supporting the needs of families in our community at risk of or transitioning out of homelessness.  

Hill Havurah has traditionally supported EHDC’s backpack and school supplies drive. Last year, Everyone Home DC shifted its back-to-school approach to ensure they provided families with flexible monetary support by providing families with gift cards for either Visa, Mastercard, Target, Walmart, or Amazon. The new approach was met with gratitude and appreciation from the families that EHDC works with; they welcomed the efficiency of the process and the ability to go back-to-school shopping as a family. 

EHDC’s goal is to distribute 200 $50 gift cards to rising scholars in families they work with. Hill Havurah would like to collect at least $2,000, providing 40 of those 200 gift cards! 

Monetary donations raised through this page will be used to purchase gift cards for either Visa, Mastercard, Target, Walmart, or Amazon. The DCPS school year is scheduled to begin on August 30, 2021. Everyone Home DC programs will distribute the gift cards to the families they work with throughout the month of August. 

If you prefer to purchase and send gift cards directly to Everyone Home DC, you can do so by mailing them to the address below. Please focus on gift cards that are Visa or Mastercard, or that are for Target, Walmart, or Amazon, and please note that your gift is part of Hill Havurah’s collection. 

Gift cards can be mailed to: 

Everyone Home DC
Attn: Back-to-School
415 2nd Street NE, 3rd Floor
Washington, DC 20002
