Alice's Kids www.aliceskids.org

• Alice's Kids is a non-profit organization based in Mount Vernon, Alexandria which provides children in need with short term assistance. They provide gift cards to children to purchase items like a new pair of shoes, a backpack to replace the one that was stolen, a new pair of glasses, the registration fee for the soccer team. They give dignity to children who have so little.

Victoria Home: http://victoriahome.org

• Victoria Homes was founded in 1915 by the Daughters of the British Empire to provide the elderly with the highest levels of personalized attention. They specialize in care for seniors with neurological issues such as Lou Gehrig’s disease.

About Monte Durham our emcee:

Monte Durham is the Fashion Director on TLC’s Say Yes to the Dress: Atlanta. He’s the impossibly tall, silver-haired Southern gentleman with the sly sense of humor. Fans of the show know his uniform of slim suits and Hermes belt, but natives of Monte’s adopted city, Washington, D.C., may have seen him in shorts and running shoes on the Mount Vernon trail or walking his Welsh terrier, Nellie Belle.
