For me, one of the highlights of the fall is the Help the Homeless Walkathon – this year’s walk was no exception. It is probably the most “community-inspired” activity I know. You have people from almost every cultural, racial, and socio-economic background – doing it together! I even saw several homeless people either walking or cheering from the sidelines along the way. People were simply having a good time.
Last week, West Elementary hosted a mini walk as part of Fannie Mae’s Help the Homeless Walkathon program. Each year, West Elementary partners with Samaritan Inns as a beneficiary organization to support our mission to reshape and rebuild the lives of those suffering from homelessness and addiction in the district. This inspiring initiative helped students gain a better understanding of homelessness and demonstrated the Samaritan Inns’ spirit of raising awareness to end homelessness and addiction in our Nation’s Capital.
Earlier this morning, Sidwell Friends School completed a mini-walk as part of Fannie Mae’s Help the Homeless Walkathon program. Every year, Sidwell walks for three beneficiary organizations, one of which is Samaritan Inns. All of the money raised goes directly to Samaritan Inns to support our mission of ending homelessness and addictions in the District of Columbia.

Last week, Lynette Daniels, Program Director for Samaritan Inns’ Intensive Recovery Program, visited Rivendell School in Arlington, Virginia, to speak to the children there about homelessness. Kindergarteners and middle schoolers alike listened as Lynette shared her experiences as a staff member at Samaritan Inns and the importance of working toward making our community better.
“How many of you had the opportunity to eat breakfast this morning?” Lynette asked the children, whose little hands immediately shot up in the air.
Samaritan Inns is honored to be named as Chuck Todd’s charity in a bet he made with ABC News White House Correspondent Jake Tapper. Todd, NBC News’ White House Correspondent, entered into a bet with Tapper as to the outcome of the National League Championship Series: if the Dodgers won, Jake Tapper would have to grow a goatee and if the Phillies won, Chuck Todd would have to shave his.
