That’s a Wrap on the Fifth Annual Plaza West Gift Drive!

Friday December 20, 2024

And what a year it was! Thanks to our community’s incredible generosity, plus a little help from NBC4, not only was every single item purchased from our Amazon Wish List, but the Mount Vernon Triangle Community Foundation was also able to purchase $50 Visa gift cards for the 54 children who did not request specific items – making this year’s campaign the most successful one yet!

The gifts were packaged, assembled, and loaded into the MVT sleigh for delivery at Plaza West earlier this week ahead of the grandfamilies’ holiday party last evening. Take a look at some of the photos we captured below and thank you again to all who contributed to this incredibly worthy cause and helped us make the holidays a little brighter for a deserving child in our community!

Located in our clean, safe, and amenity-rich Mount Vernon Triangle community with convenient access to transportation, retail, and employment resources, Plaza West is an innovative affordable housing development serving grandparents raising grandkids. The unique development has 50 units for head of households age 50 and older who have legal custody/guardianship of at least one minor child. Plaza West is just one of a handful of such projects across the country and is the first project of its type in Washington, DC.
