JUNE 5 | Hannah Hawkins Street Naming Celebration

“Over 30 years ago, Mrs. Hawkins had a dream for the disadvantaged at-risk youth in Southeast Washington. She wanted to provide them with a safe, clean, and loving environment where every day they could come and do homework, eat a hot meal, and participate in organized activities. In spite of many obstacles, Mrs. Hawkins through hard work, the help of volunteers, and very special people was able to fulfill her dream and create a legacy with the Children of Mine Youth Center.

The Center has not only been a place of resource but a life-changing encounter for many children. Check out a few examples of some of the Center’s alumni whose lives have been enhanced by participating in the Children of Mine Youth Center.”
