This year, Amazon’s contribution is set to make the holidays brighter for almost 3,000 local families. After a challenging year marked by the ongoing pandemic, last year’s Holiday Helpings program saw unprecedented need. This year, the focus is on equity, with a groundbreaking expansion of mobile food delivery services that will bring holiday supplies directly to select residential buildings. This is in addition to on-site distribution at the organization’s two community centers, distribution of fresh groceries, and offering families a choice between turkey and chicken. Holiday Helpings is not just a meal; it’s a powerful demonstration of neighbors supporting neighbors and fostering a sense of community.

We’re excited to receive this support from Wegmans and happy to welcome them to the fight against poverty here in DC.”
