OUR PURPOSE...OUR MISSION...

Every community in America faces the challenge of providing much needed services with limited resources. One of the best ways of meeting this challenge is through volunteerism. The needs of the African American community are to be met by acting as an advocate for the community, promoting effective community relations, maximizing and focusing community resources and services, building network that represents its voice on issues and providing or facilitating the mental, social, physical and culture to the African American community of greater Washington, DC.

The Ladies of Second to None (220) is a group located in the metropolitan area of Washington, DC that provides a variety of services to the African American community. It is the mission of Second to None to preserve the dignity and culture of a diverse African American community and to provide services to non-profit organizations through meaningful use of our skills and knowledge in volunteerism.

Second to None was founded in the early 1990's as a secondary family, a family of sistahs that just found the need to give back to our community. Our dedication started with the advocacy, education and harm reduction of HIV/AIDS in our community. As a group witnessing the spread of HIV/AIDS in our community, we realized action had to be taken to educate others and ourselves. In present day, we've broaden our dedication by simply serving those who cannot serve themselves, and those over looked by society.

Our goal is to have a variety of non-profit organization to take advantage of our large number of members and sincere dedication of improvement in our community, race and as a whole, by keeping all we do second to none.
