There’s A LOT going on in our Sustainable Agriculture Department!

Good News! Bread for the City has launched a monthly Housing Clinic that is presented entirely in Amharic.

We’re excited to announce a change that will help reduce and remove barriers for people seeking food resources.

As we settle into year three at Bread for the City’s dental clinic, many positive things have revealed themselves.

The law firm of Covington & Burling has made the first gift for an upcoming $15 million expansion of Bread for the City’s Southeast Center on Good Hope Road. This $100,000 contribution will help Bread for the City (BFC) expand its civil legal services practice for low-income individuals living East of the River, and is part of Covington’s commitment with the DC Access to Justice Commission’s “Raising the Bar” Campaign to help bridge the legal services funding gap in the District of Columbia.

At her open house in February, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser announced that she would be hosting a series of three Budget Engagement Forums throughout the city.

The purpose of these forums was to let residents know about the proposed items in her budget, and also to hear directly from residents about what things they would like to see her prioritize.

After many months of preparation, enrollment is now open for Bread’s text-message based smoking cessation program called “Partners in Quitting”.

A month ago I had a powerful experience. I spent two days with 45 mostly-young people in a training workshop on “Undoing Racism”. Almost 30 of the 45 were Bread employees or Board members – black, white, mixed, and Asian-American – and were there as part of Bread’s commitment to racial equity.
