The Washingtonian, TASTE OF GEORGETOWN, presented by INFINITI will be held this Sunday, September 22 from 11am-4pm!

The event will feature creative tastes from more than 30 of the neighborhood's best restaurants along with beer and wine. The festival benefits Georgetown Ministry Center's mission to support the homeless. The event began over 20 years ago by Grace Episcopal Church in Georgetown and its former rector David Bird and member Robert Egger, who went on to found DC Central Kitchen.

Location: K Street NW between Wisconsin Avenue and Thomas Jefferson Street.

We are now receiving donations from our partners at Grace Street Coffee! This independent coffee shop is located at 3210 Grace Street NW. They offer a variety of responsibly sourced single-origin coffees from around the world, roasted in small batches on-site. Corey Geier, roaster at Grace Street Coffee since 2016, says that his enthusiasm for drinking and sharing coffee led him here. This enthusiasm now extends to GMC. The team at Grace Street was looking to donate excess beans that are roasted but not sold, and found GMC through an investor at their shop who also donates to the ministry center. We calculated the amount of coffee our guests drink in a week, and Grace Street was glad to donate the beans. We can now offer better coffee that is more sustainably sourced, and we can be more environmentally responsible by using coffee that might have gone to waste otherwise. Corey’s motivation to donate is simple: he says, “we’re here because we love the neighborhood, and we want to make it as good as possible.”

Georgetown Ministry Center’s 25th annual Winter Shelter kicks off on Sunday, November 19. Teams of volunteers will gather each night to prepare and serve a hot, nutritious meal, and to help foster a sense of community among staff, volunteers, and shelter residents.

GMC started the shelter on a pilot-basis for six weeks during the winter of 1993 to create a safe, friendly and low-demand environment to appeal to our most vulnerable homeless guests. Today, the Winter Shelter serves ten people experiencing homelessness for six months from November through April, rotating between twelve congregations in Georgetown.

To get involved or for more information, you may contact the Winter Shelter Manager, Sabrina, at sabrina@gmcgt.org.

On Thursday, October 11, the 2018 Spirit of Georgetown Benefit drew over 100 people together at the home of local Georgetown residents in support of people experiencing homelessness. We honored the Rev. John Graham of Grace Episcopal Church for his dedication to GMC’s mission and compassion for our neighbors in need.

We want to thank all those who donated and attended this year’s event — with your generous support, together we raised over $120,000! This allows us to continue to serve and build trusting relationships with our guests.Thank you!

This event embodies the spirit of generosity in Georgetown and showcases what is possible when a group of individuals comes together for the common good. Whether you were there in person on Thursday, or just in spirit, please know that your support improves the lives of our community’s most vulnerable.

Thank you for helping us end homelessness, one person at a time. We hope you will join us next October for the 20th annual Spirit of Georgetown!
