About PLG

Purposeful Living and Giving (PL&G) is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization that  is a resource for underserved  families throughout the DMV (District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia) and Camden, NJ. We are managed by a Board of 9 members who are actively engaged in the planning and execution of programs and events throughout the year. We are supported in desire to continue  our growth and desire to increase our  “giving” by our membership group, known as the Friends of Purposeful Living & Giving.

PLG at its very core is a group of like minded professionals that share a belief that it Takes A Village to uplift and support those in our community with the greatest need.
