Hotel projects
When a hotel closes, dozens of families find a home.
Two hotels — one in DC, one in Arlington — donated their furniture to OTS Rockville when they closed their doors. Here's what happened next.
Made possible by our strategic partners
Huge gifts like these wouldn't be possible without three strategic partners who've gone above and beyond for our budding organization. Berg Demolition, W C Smith Company, and Metropolitan Moving & Storage have donated countless hours and resources to help us turn empty rooms into homes for the families we serve. If you ever need any of the services these three companies provide, please reach out to them — and use our name.

The Capitol Skyline Hotel
The Capitol Skyline Hotel — a Southwest DC landmark for decades — closed its doors and reached out to OTS Rockville with an unusual offer: instead of sending hundreds of beds, couches, lamps, kitchenware, and linens to a landfill, would we take them?
