The streets of Georgia Avenue were alive with energy on Saturday, October 7, 2023, as the much-anticipated Open Streets Georgia Avenue event took place. Despite the morning rain and afternoon sunshine playing their unpredictable game, the event was a resounding success, thanks to the dedicated efforts of some remarkable individuals.

GAFSC Staff members Shakira Gantt and James Cunningham along with GAFSC Board member David Bonilla were the driving forces representing the Georgia Avenue Family Support Collaborative (GAFSC) throughout the day. Their unwavering commitment and enthusiastic participation truly made GAFSC stand out in the crowd.

Amidst the hustle and bustle, they actively shared valuable information about GAFSC’s various programs and services, distributed NARCAN kits, and handed out informational promotional materials. Most importantly, they were able to make genuine connections, furthering the impact that all GAFSC staff have in the community.
