Join us for Anne's Place third annual Breakfast with a Purpose on Thursday, November 19, 2026, from 9:00–10:00 AM, hosted at Trulucks Restaurant in Washington, DC.
This year’s program will highlight the continued need for permanent supportive and affordable housing in DC and the role that organizations like Anne’s Place play in helping residents achieve long-term housing stability.
Guests will hear from leaders in DC’s housing and nonprofit community, as well as directly from an Anne’s Place resident, offering both a broader perspective on the city’s housing challenges and a personal look at the impact of supportive housing.
Join us for a meaningful morning of connection, conversation, and commitment to ensuring that more DC residents have a safe and stable place to call home.
About Anne’s Place. In 1987 volunteers at Adas Israel Congregation in Washington, DC founded Anne Frank House (now Anne’s Place, Inc), a tax-exempt charitable organization under section 501(c)(3). For 35 years volunteers raised funds to maintain housing and professional case management to help people rebuild their lives in safety and dignity.
We are people who believe in the power of community action.
