“Today, there are five thousand
children in the D.C. metropolitan area who are living in temporary care,
waiting to be adopted. We need to make their dreams come true.”
#These
are the words of Janice Goldwater whose vision and determination have
helped to conquer the challenge of finding permanent homes for children
regardless of their age, race or health issues. Twenty-four years ago,
she founded “Adoptions Together,” a non-profit agency to find “forever
families” for hard-to-place children – and since then, her organization
has found homes for more than 3,500 children and impacted thousands of
families in the metropolitan D.C. area.
“Adoptions Together works to ensure kids in our
community grow up in strong and healthy families,” Adoptions Together
Board Member Tom Burton said. “The Taste In Potomac is one way we come
together to have a great time supporting the mission of this work, and
we need more folks to join us. I encourage everyone to come see great
chefs, sample incredible food as local restaurants showcase their
specialties, bid on wonderful auction items, and join a great cause.”
Office Furniture Loft was happy to support this
cause by donating furniture and volunteer hours. OFL is very community
oriented and is always in search of ways to help.
