We Are Family coordinates monthly grocery deliveries to 450 seniors in the
North Capitol/Shaw and Columbia Heights/Park View neighborhoods. We
need your help to make this happen!
We gather at either the
Metropolitan Community Church or Kelsey Apartments to assemble the grocery bags
and then split up into groups to deliver the groceries to seniors in various
homes, individual apartments, and senior housing buildings. These seniors are
facing poverty and social isolation that puts them at risk for hunger as well
as other dangers. These deliveries are scheduled at the time in the month where
their financial assistance is running low and they are likely facing tough
choices like whether to keep their power on, pay for medicine, or feed
themselves.
With the current economic problems many seniors are getting less
support and are facing higher costs, furthering their desperation. You
can help make an immense difference in their lives!
