MISSION MOMENT
A Place to Belong
“You realize you’re not alone here.”
-Jeff, former guest of The Doorways
When Jeff and his wife, Teresa, traveled to Richmond for his transplant, they found more than a place to stay. Through shared meals, friendships, and time spent with fellow guests, they found a community that supported them through treatment. Jeff soon began paying it forward, offering that same sense of connection to others.
A RECORD YEAR
Gilbane Restaurant Walk Surpasses Its Goal!
The 21st Annual Gilbane Restaurant Walk brought friends and supporters together at CarMax Park for a memorable evening in support of The Doorways.
Thanks to Gilbane Building Company, our generous sponsors, and everyone who joined us, this year’s event surpassed its fundraising goal and became our most successful Restaurant Walk yet!
