Event Description:

Jubilee Housing provides low income housing and resident programs for people in DC. The annual Gala raises a substantial portion of the funds necessary for Jubilee Housing to continue operations and services. This is the 24th annual gala. For more information on the organization, please visit: http://www.jsadc.org/about/housing.html

What we'll be doing:

Volunteers will be setting up for the event, organizing auction items, putting together centerpieces and auction folders, decorating where needed, staging items for dinner and the silent auction, putting up signage, etc.

What you should know:

Wear comfortable clothes and sneakers. The best option in getting to the site is by metro; street parking is very limited.

Where to Meet:

Volunteers will enter the Omni and head toward the restaurant in the back, take a right before the restaurant and head toward the escalators at the end of the hall. At the escalators veer right (but not a sharp right). We will meet at the Director's Room which will be around the corner to the left (across from a large registration table).

Jubilee Support Alliance:

The Jubilee Support Alliance (JSA), is comprised of a dynamic group of Washington DCarea business professionals dedicated to raising both awareness and financial resources for Jubilee Housing. Jubilee Housing is a community-based organization, which offers a response to the plight of homelessness and poverty. In addition to housing nearly 1,000 residents in Adams Morgan at below market rental rates, Jubilee Housing also offers access to support services such as health care, job placement, preschool, day care and senior citizens programs for the residents. With affordable housing as a platform, residents are able to focus their resources on improving their job skills, getting an education, nurturing children, and building a better future.
