80's photoshop. 95% of DC based TV, especially in the 80's, never saw the city

First, Great Question. I think this will help others find a place to give!!
Second: What are your hot buttons? What matters to you? The replies you'll get will be all over the place, and most will be doing "good works" depending on your definition of "good". Here are some of the thousands in the DMV. But , in answer to your question: Mary's House for Older Adults. They are building a home for LGBTQ+ seniors to continue living their authentic lives. Many LGBTQ+ seniors are forced back into the closet when needing to transition to a "group home" or "Senior Facility" and/or forcibly separated from their partners. MH is working to build a place where that does not and will not happen! Local organization, Local founder, local impact!

If you are willing and/or able to get out of the City, Value Village/Unique in Silver Spring for a lot of men's wear, and Second Ave in Bladensburg, Laurel and Columbia for a great selection of quality shoes.Red White and Blue in Laurel is totally hit or miss (but so is thrifting) and is cash only. but when you find a deal.... And finally, My favorite thrift shop in the DMV:Charity's Closet. Technically several stores, but for men's wear you'll go to First Looks and what was called Phil's Closet but has been folded into Charity's . First looks is higher end brands in amazing condition at great prices, where Closet is those same brands that didn't make it in first looks ( for whatever reason though I've never seen condition Issues) all priced @ $5!! . i just walked out with a pair of Church's Made in England Oxfords and a Bogosse shirt..for five bucks each.

I was just thinking the same thing. And the address was 227 Lexington Place...
Apparently based on a play set in Chicago.
