Partner Shelter Sites
We partner with shelters, transitional living programs, schools, and community spaces in Washington, DC and Prince George's County, Maryland.
We are NOT a shelter.
Our partner sites protect the privacy and confidentiality of their residents. If you are interested in volunteering, dropping off donations, or visiting one of our partner sites, please contact us at admin@playtimeproject.org before showing up.
Playtime's administrative office is in St. Stephen and the Incarnation Episcopal Church, which has an important mission of service and social justice and is home to several nonprofit organizations.
