A Night of Transformation, Fundraising Gala for Friends of Guest House

Friends of Guest House
is a non-profit organization helping women successfully transition from
incarceration back into the community. Started in 1974, Friends of Guest House
is the largest program of it's kind in Virginia, just having grown from 10 to
17 beds, and the only one
in Northern Virginia. With around 5,000 women incarcerated in VA, programs such
as ours are in high demand, and need the support of the community. 

Without
support, women who are released from prison have a 70% likelihood of
re-offending, at Guest House, our rate for successful graduates drops to 7%.

Please
come out and support the women in your community!
