The Ward 4 CARE Team needs your help in reaching all Brightwood neighbors! We are coming together for Community Outreach Days to check-in on one another, engage with issues in our communities, and ensure that resources are in the hands of those that need them.

Join us on August 17th, 2023 from 4 to 7PM at Fort Stevens Rec Center in Brightwood. Help us distribute resources and information, check-in with our neighbors, and learn what issues need to be addressed in our lovely Ward 4 communities.
