THE LITTLE NONPROFIT THAT COULD...TURNS 10!

believe: to have a firm conviction as to the goodness, efficacy, or ability of something. source: Merriam-Webster

 

On January 23, 2014, on a ridiculously cold day, about 20 believers gathered at Lima Restaurant in Washington, D.C. to welcome Starting With Today to the world. We started that year with 5 workshops serving about 40 people. Even then, I knew we were building something special.
