Though it was ugly outside last Thursday afternoon, 421 Fallsway was filled with warmth and love at the annual Health Care for the Homeless client holiday dinner. Yummy aromas wafted through the 3rd floor all morning long as staff worked to get dishes warmed and ready to serve. As clients left the building following morning appointments, the set-up crew helped our security team transform the lobby into a festive dining room. And at 1.pm., as the winds whipped outside, we welcomed our clients into the building for respite from the cold and a delicious meal prepared by our staff.
Many thanks to each and every person who took time to cook, bake, set-up, clean-up, serve or simply share a smile in order to make the event enjoyable for our clients.
And a special thank you to the Human Resources and events teams here at Health Care for the Homeless for coordinating the afternoon!
Please take a moment to look at some of the shots from the dinner here.

The Trans Rights Advocacy Coalition (TRAC) has been the driving force in championing trans rights policy changes in Maryland. Due to stigma and structural discrimination, transgender people—particularly transgender people of color—experience high rates of homelessness. Following the implementation of the Trans Health Equity Act in January, we talked with TRAC leadership about their work and community.
