City Gate

Thanks to the program with Ms. Vicks and my tutor, Emily, I am learning to read. At City Gate we get to do art projects and play on the computers and I really like that. What I like most about the program are the field trips, though. We get to go places we’ve never been before. We don’t leave the neighborhood unless it is on a field trip. I thank you for all you have done for our programs, please help make things better for our neighborhood.

Sincerely, Markese

You can help us by either donating non-perishable food, or used clothing and/or books, or you can volunteer for our service project on Saturday, September 10, 2011.

9/10 Serve, Salute, Celebrate Event
City Gate. is bringing together volunteers from all over the DC area for a unified day of service and fellowship on Saturday, September 10. In commemoration of both the 9/11 attacks, and the renewed spirit of national community those attacks fostered, volunteers will serve from 9am to 1pm at either Mary Virginia Merrick Center in SE DC, or Clay Terrace of NE DC. Once there, volunteers will have the opportunity to work alongside members of those communities to distribute clothing, food, books, and other donated goods. City Gate will also coordinate beautification projects of nearby neighborhoods and parks as a complement to the food and clothing drive. Following the service project, volunteers are invited to a brief salute to those affected by the attacks, and a cook-out to celebrate the strength of spirit and unity of purpose of our national community.

Those interested can register online. CLICK HERE!
