Community Corner

A Night of Transformation, Fundraising Gala for Friends of Guest House

Friends of Guest House

is a non-profit organization helping women successfully transition from

incarceration back into the community. Started in 1974, Friends of Guest House

is the largest program of it's kind in Virginia, just having grown from 10 to

17 beds, and the only one

in Northern Virginia. With around 5,000 women incarcerated in VA, programs such

as ours are in high demand, and need the support of the community. 


Without

support, women who are released from prison have a 70% likelihood of

re-offending, at Guest House, our rate for successful graduates drops to 7%.


Please

come out and support the women in your community!
