Celebrating Bread for the City Social Services!

March is when we celebrate Social Workers Month, honoring the amazing people working hard every day for the good of us, our families, and our communities. At Bread for the City, we want to take this opportunity to show off our superstar Social Services team!

This powerhouse of a team provides a wide range of services to the DC community including leading economic security initiatives and our workforce development program, managing our client’s finances and public benefits, hosting women empowerment and wellness workshops, delivering diapers and baby supplies to the doors of families across all 8 wards, and so much more!

We’ve interviewed a few members of our Social Services team to give you a firsthand look at the work they do and their commitment to the DC community.
