2026 Gala
40th Anniversary of the Helping Hands Shelter for Women and Children.
The Gala is the first (inaugural) event and it will feature WUSA anchor and Emmy award winner Allison Seymore as our keynote speaker. The gala will raise funds for the Helping Hands Shelter and for Pathways. The program will include live music, a silent auction, and testimonials from women who successfully transitioned from the shelter to independent living.
