✨ Holiday magic was in full swing today at United Way’s gift-wrapping event! 🎁

Our clients had an absolute blast showing off their wrapping skills — and they did amazing! We received so many compliments from customers about how friendly, cheerful, and talented our ladies were. The smiles, the conversations, and the holiday spirit made the whole day feel extra special.

We’re always grateful for opportunities to give back to the United Way of Washington County, Maryland, especially since they support Lasting Change in so many meaningful ways throughout the year. It feels wonderful to be able to serve the community alongside an organization that invests in our women and their journey. 💛

And the best part?
🎉 We get to do it all again! We’re scheduled for three more gift-wrapping appearances and we can’t wait!

🎄 Help Us Make Christmas Brighter for Our Clients’ Children! 🎁

It’s that special time of year again at Lasting Change, and we’re getting ready to put together Christmas gifts for the children of the women we serve. Many of our clients are working hard on their recovery journey, and being able to give their children a meaningful Christmas gift brings so much joy and encouragement during the holidays.

We’re asking for your help! ❤️
If you’d like to support this tradition, we are accepting donations of any amount to help us purchase gifts for the kids. Every dollar truly makes a difference and goes directly toward brightening a child’s Christmas morning.

If you’d like to give, please reach out to us or stop by Lasting Change. Thank you for helping us spread love, hope, and holiday cheer to families who need it most! (kjohnson@thewhouse.org or 301.791.7826)

🎁✨ Together, we can make this season a little brighter. ✨🎁

Lasting Change recently welcomed a guest from the Health Department who provided a powerful presentation on grief and loss. 💛

The clients engaged deeply in the discussion, opening up about their own experiences with grief and recognizing that many of their feelings were shared among peers. One of the key themes was the importance of patience when navigating the stages of grief and honoring the healing process.

It was a meaningful and impactful group, and we are grateful for opportunities like this that support healing, connection, and personal growth.

✨ Happy 9-Year Work Anniversary, Erin! ✨

Today we celebrate nine incredible years of having one of the most dedicated, compassionate, and talented leaders on our team. Erin, as our Clinical Director, you pour your heart into everything you do guiding our staff, supporting our mission, and making Lasting Change truly lasting.

You show up every day for our clients, for our team, and for our community… and we are better because of you. 💜

Harvest Connections Fair!
This past weekend, Lasting Change was grateful to take part in this community event. A few of our women joined Rachelle, our Peer Support, to help set up, share information about our program, and connect with other organizations. It was a great day of resources, support, and community connection!

Last week our ladies spent the day volunteering at It's A Blessing to be A Blessing! 💜

We rolled up our sleeves and made over 100 PB&J sandwiches for their Bagged Lunch Program, and helped assemble the snack bags that go along with each lunch. It was a joy to support their mission and give back to our community in such a hands-on way.

Mama D shared how much she appreciates the hard work and positive energy our clients bring — and even invited them to choose a few donated items as a thank-you. 🫶

We are so grateful for partnerships like this that help our women learn the value of service, connection, and spreading kindness.

Yesterday, Lasting Change attended the Regional Manufacturing Roundtable at the Bowman Training Center, with engaging discussions about apprenticeships, employer initiatives, and the hiring challenges manufacturers face—particularly those tied to high school and college education—and to share information about our workforce development program.

Our program participants represent an often untapped source of dedicated, motivated workers who thrive when given a second chance. We appreciate the opportunity to connect with local leaders who share a commitment to strengthening our community’s workforce!
