Happy Holidays! We hope everyone had a wonderful holiday surrounded by loved ones. Thank you to everyone who has donated sandwiches, hats, scarves, gloves, toothbrushes, washcloths, and socks. You have been a tremendous help, and our members appreciate everything you’re doing to help keep them warm.

If you are in the DC area this week and have a bit of time, would you please consider making sandwiches and bringing them in to the center? With people on vacation and out of town, there has been a lull in sandwich donations. Can you help us out this Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, or Saturday?

Questions – please call Stephanie at 202-338-8301. Thank you!
