Holiday parties! 🎉
In December, we celebrated our staff holiday party by bringing together our founder and some board members to Mi Rancho for a joyful occasion. We exchanged gifts and enjoyed a delightful dinner, fostering a festive atmosphere that strengthened the bonds within our team.
Additionally, our participants also enjoyed a holiday gathering at St. Stephen Church. We came together for a lovely afternoon filled with shared meals, laughter, and engaging activities, providing a wonderful opportunity for everyone to connect and celebrate the season together.
Enjoy our Holiday season memories:
Gifts and joy for more than 200 kids!
In late November 2023, as part of our Giving Tuesday campaign we collected toys to bring joy to every child in our community during the holiday season. A heartfelt thank you to all individual donors and to Carlos Rosario School and Goulson & Storrs for hosting toy drives! ✨🧸
Thanks to all of you, we were able to bring happiness to 243 children and their families.
Food distribution allies
We want to show our enormous appreciation for all of you who supported TFP’s Food Distribution in 2023! We successfully distributed 10,000 food packages, providing a diverse range of groceries that included various fruits and vegetables. Our efforts reached and served over 1,500 families.
Special gratitude to Capital Area Food Bank and Central Union Mission for all their extraordinary support!

Huge thanks to the Congressional Sports for Charity for their continued commitment on making an impact for low income and immigrant families in the DC area.

MEP System Coordination is the process of integrating Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing systems within a building to ensure seamless functionality and avoid design conflicts. It involves collaboration between architects, engineers, and contractors to align layouts, space requirements, and installation timelines. Using advanced tools like BIM (Building Information Modeling), coordination helps detect clashes and optimize system performance before construction begins. Proper MEP coordination enhances efficiency, reduces costly rework, and ensures compliance with safety and design standards. This process is essential for achieving a well-organized, energy-efficient, and maintainable building infrastructure, ensuring smooth execution from design to project completion.
MEP Pre-Construction Services involve the planning, coordination, and design of Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing systems before actual construction begins. These services ensure that all building systems are efficiently integrated into the overall design, minimizing conflicts and costly changes during construction. MEP pre-construction experts provide detailed cost estimation, value engineering, constructability reviews, and BIM modeling to optimize system performance. They collaborate closely with architects, engineers, and contractors to create accurate plans, schedules, and budgets. By identifying potential issues early, MEP pre-construction services improve project efficiency, reduce delays, and ensure compliance with safety and sustainability standards, leading to successful project execution.
