GIVING TUESDAY 2025

Strong Families, Strong Community

Your gift for Giving Tuesday makes stability, connection, and opportunity possible for DC Bilingual families.

MAKE A GIFT

This Giving Tuesday, December 2, DC Bilingual is rallying our community to raise $70,000 to ensure every family has the support they need during this uniquely challenging time.

Why? Families across DC are navigating unemployment, unstable housing, immigration and legal challenges, and health-related hardships. At the same time, federal funding cuts have eliminated critical partnerships like FoodCorps and Reading Partners.

With your support, DC Bilingual is stepping in to fill these gaps.
