Who We Serve

Horton’s Kids partners with communities in Southeast DC, where children and families face the daily reality of historical disinvestment and systemic racism.

Our focused approach involves working directly with families to access resources and services, working alongside them to overcome unjust obstacles and create the future they want.

We work to ensure our impact remains concentrated within the distinct needs of the communities we serve by employing a place-based model, investing in neighborhoods located within 1/2 mile of Horton’s Community Resource Hub – aka The Hub.

Our Centers

The majority of Horton’s Kids programs take place at our three Community Resource Centers.

Horton’s Kids Community Resource Hub

2233 Hunter Place SE Washington, DC 20020

As part of our Securing Futures for Southeast Campaign, Horton’s Kids now operates our largest location and staff headquarters Horton’s Hub and Community Resource Center. The space currently functions as our administrative offices as well as the Hub for all of our programming and distribution efforts.

Wellington Park Community Resource Center

2500 Pomeroy Rd. SE., Washington, DC 20020

Established in 2011 and renovated in 2012 through a partnership with the Food Network, the Wellington Park Community Resource Center is just steps away from the children’s homes. Equipped with bulletproof glass, the on-site Center is the only safe, consistent, and accessible source of fresh produce, healthy food, books, and computers for many children and families. The Center also provides participants’ families with the opportunity to regularly connect with our staff and creates an open line of communication toward the shared goal of supporting and empowering children for success.

Stanton Oaks Community Resource Center

2424 Elvans Rd. SE., Washington DC 20020

In October of 2020, Horton’s Kids opened our Stanton Oaks Community Resource Centerin Southeast DC. The second Center, located about an 8-minute walk from our Wellington Park Center, serves children and families living in a housing community very similar to Wellington Park. The Oaks Center established Horton’s Kids as a community hub, offering programs and services to an additional 100 children and families.
