Neighbors Helping Neighbors: Food Drive with SOME

Let’s feed DC, together.

We’re teaming up with SOME (So Others Might Eat), a local nonprofit fighting hunger and poverty, to host a neighborhood food drive right here in the Bloomingdale neighborhood of Washington, DC. Join us in caring for our city, one bag at a time.

Every donation makes a difference. These items are especially helpful right now:

  • Applesauce (plastic jars, unsweetened)
  • Canned chicken, tuna, salmon, or ham
  • Peanut butter
  • Canned veggies + fruit (no added sodium or sugar)
  • Pasta, rice, “meals in a box”
  • Granola bars & instant mashed potatoes

To make sure your gift goes straight to a neighbor’s table:
