Many Hands Make Light Work: Thrive DC






Over 6,000 people in Washington, DC face the night without knowing where they will sleep or what they will eat. Thrive DC makes sure that no one has to face homelessness alone or on an empty stomach. Each day, Thrive DC provides over 200 meals and supportive services to help homeless men and women end their homelessness and change their lives.

Thrive DC volunteers:
  • Work in Thrive's Daily Bread/Daily Needs, preparing meals and distributing emergency supplies
  • Provide assistance in the computer workshop
  • Help individuals apply for jobs and prepare for interviews
  • Work in the Links program, leading enrichment activities and teaching educational classes
  • Assist with administrative and development tasks
  • Lead special projects
  • Offer a familiar face and kind word
To see all current volunteer opportunities, check out Thrive DC's handout here.
