Background: DC Project Connect Distributes Care Packages to Citizens who have Returned to the D.C. Area From Prison:
To aid citizens who recently returned from prison, DC Project Connect and our sister nonprofit organizations have distributed care packages in the Washington, DC metropolitan area, to ease returning citizen's transition. The care packages, consisting of soap, dental care products, and other toiletries, were donated by Walden’s University’s Office of Alumni Engagement. This past August (2019), Walden University faculty, graduate students and their families, collaborated with DCPC volunteers to assemble over 1,000 care kits for supporting these individuals. The distribution of these kits has become instrumental during the COVID-19 pandemic.
