Hi! Welcome...

Food for All DC is a non-profit charity that strives to provide emergency food to those who are in temporary situations of need. Our clients are generally elderly citizens, handicapped, or single mothers with young children. Each week we accept referrals from social workers who have been contacted by individuals, and in some cases, we receive calls directly from individuals in need. The majority of the food is obtained from the Capitol Area Food Bank, although we also receive donations from area supermarkets and farms. The operation is entirely volunteer operated, with the assistance of federal and other agency grants.

Great turn out last Saturday!

Thanks to all our volunteers for making FFA a big success last weekend. We had a great turn out and delivered to over 60 households. Special thanks to the Federal Communications Bar Association’s Young Lawyers Committee, Howard University’s Drum team, Deloitte and of course Greater DC Cares!

Hopefully we’ll see all you guys again.

Cheers!

Spring has Sprung !!

The beautiful weather means a few things to our program: First of all, it can be harder to recruit volunteers this time of year. Secondly, the sheer pleasure of being out in the neighborhoods and doing good is that much more fun and rewarding. Come out and share your spirit with your community. Click “VOLUNTEER INFO” for details on how to get involved !!!
