May 20, 2020 by BFC in Development Donors Fundraising In the Community

For 12 years, BFC has had the honor of calling WilmerHale a partner, and a friend for even longer!

2020 Good Hope Gala Canceled

May 19, 2020 by BFC in Development Fundraising Good Hope Gala

As stay-at-home orders continue and debates begin on the phased re-opening of DC to a “new normal,” Bread for the City has made the difficult decision to cancel our 2020 Good Hope Gala, which was originally rescheduled for September 25th. Our number one priority is the health and safety of our community, staff, and supporters. While we are not able to hold this annual event, know we will continue to stretch resources to absorb the increased need among DC residents. Visit breadforthecity.org/goodhopegala for future updates.

Bread for the City’s #GivingTuesday was an AMAZING day!

When we add in the $50,000 match, we raised a grand total of $167,895 in support of DC residents living on low income.
