MSW Cares Foundation

Beginning in my 20s, I spent my time feeding neighbors in Love Park and distributing coats on Broad Street. Those years, alongside my work in community outreach for the Sheriff’s Office, inspired me to establish MSW Cares Foundation in 2013. After a brief pause during the pandemic to focus on my professional career, I am now fully dedicated to this new season of local advocacy. Our Community Care Space, built on five essential pillars ranging from food security to information sharing, is here to stay. Please join our mission as we Connect, Support, Serve, and Strengthen our community. ~Monica S. Washington
