What BFC Expansion Means for DC
Bread for the City's CEO George A. Jones provides an overview of the potential impact of our new Southeast Center.
Building on Good Hope: Bread is Always There
Bread for the City was there for Terri through five daughters and many of life’s ups and downs. “There were times when I got laid off from a job. I’d think, ‘Here we go again.’ But Bread was always there.” And now, Terri is there for Bread for the City—as a staff member! After going through our community organizers training, she was hired as a community organizer. Today, she helps individuals who are struggling—very much like she was—to find their voices and advocate for their rights. Specifically, Terri is passionate about fighting for affordable housing for residents of the district and has even testified at a District of Columbia Housing Authority commissioners meeting. Meet Terri and other Southeast Center leaders at the groundbreaking for our new Southeast Center on Thursday, May 17th at 9am. RSVP here: www.breadforthecity.org/groundbreaking.
What a night! A celebration of hope.
What a night! Our 2018 Building on Good Hope Gala was truly one for the books. We had a blast celebrating our new Southeast Center, bidding on awesome auction packages, dancing to the Brass Connection Band, and of course, raising money to support our poverty relief services and advocacy programs.
