Hunger is a problem in our area.

According to the United States Department of Agriculture, one out of every eight D.C. households cannot afford or does not have access to nutritionally adequate and safe food.

The WHC Hunger Project is working hard to lower that number. To date, our efforts have produced over 1,500,000 meals.

We hold “food packing” events about once a month.

Volunteers – adults, children, individuals, families, and groups – put on hairnets, gloves, and aprons and carefully measure and package ingredients that become over 10,000 nutritious meals for the underserved in our area. Our packing events are tikkun olam at its very heart, and the meals we pack are on people’s tables within a week.

Bring your children and grandchildren; the program is open to volunteers ages 8+. SSL hours can be earned.

RSVP is required because space is limited.
