SOME (So Others Might Eat)

?? Too many of our neighbors—especially seniors—face empty plates instead of nourishing meals. In fact, DC has the highest rate of senior food insecurity in the nation, according to a 2022 report from the DC Food Policy Council. At SOME, we’re making sure no one is left behind by providing free, nutritious meals every day. Because food is more than sustenance—it’s dignity, community, and hope. ?? Breakfast: 7:30-8:30 AM ?? Lunch: 11:30 AM-12:30 PM ?? 71 O St. NW DC This National Nutrition Month, help us spread the word and make sure our most vulnerable neighbors get the support they need.

Have you seen us out around the District? Over the last few weeks we stopped by the Ward 8 SOME (So Others Might Eat) Senior Center to share tips on avoiding utility scams and attended the Ward 8 Take Over to distribute utility-related information.

On March 12th, I spent the early hours of the morning volunteering with SOME (So Others Might Eat) in Washington, D.C., helping distribute breakfast to those in need. As part of my Alternative Spring Break, I had the chance to be on the front lines of service, ensuring that individuals experiencing homelessness had access to a warm meal to start their day. It was a humbling experience that reminded me how essential compassion and community support are in making a difference. #keanuniversity #SOME #PovertyAlleviation

??? Hunger shouldn’t be a daily reality, yet 1 in 7 children in DC face food insecurity, unsure of when their next meal will be. Families across our city are making impossible choices between rent, medical care, and putting food on the table. This March, we’re taking action! Fill SOME Bowls is more than a campaign—it’s a commitment to making sure no one in our community goes hungry. Every donation helps provide nutritious meals to those who need it most. Together, we can make a real impact. ?? Join us in the fight against hunger. Donate today: https://bit.ly/4iSr3Jm
