Be the Change in DC

Be the Change in DC (BTCDC) helps the less fortunate through events, both social and service in nature, that are meant to give the general public a new perspective on the very people that they may walk by and ignore on a daily basis. By personally handing out much needed items to the homeless, Be the Change in DC’s volunteers interact with the homeless and see them in a different light. In helping out the homeless, BTCDC does not want compete with existing organizations, but rather work with them to fill in the gaps of taking a homeless person off the streets. We have partnered with organizations such as So Other Might Eat (SOME), the Shelter Hotline and Community Voice Mail to accomplish our goals.

In serving the community, our goal is to help the homeless get back on their feet and educate the general public on homelessness.

Virgin Mobile USA is now officially sponsoring Be the Change in DC's Cell Phones for the Homeless Program. They recently began providing 1,500 minutes a month for our three current participants (pictured here, from left to right, Fred, Marvin, and Sam).

We are super excited to have a corporate partner that not only preaches corporate social responsibility but also practices it. Kudos to Virgin Mobile USA for really "getting" what we are trying to do with the prepaid cell phone initiative and for believing in Be the Change in DC to make it happen.
