Bread for the City cut the ribbon on our brand new 28,132 square foot Southeast Center at 1700 Marion Barry Ave SE on September 3, 2020.

With a six-year record of success in Shaw and a growing demand for services, BFC launched a capital campaign to replicate its model east of the Anacostia River. Construction of the new Southeast Center began in 2001, and on its first day of operation in October 2002, staff distributed enough groceries to feed more than 3,000.

Dedicated to meeting the comprehensive needs of those it serves, BFC made a commitment to regularly assess community needs and ensure that its service model was relevant to address said needs. In this vein, BFC established its Representative Payee Program in 2002 in contract with the DC Department of Mental Health. This remains the only program in the District of Columbia that offers financial management services to residents living with mental illness and subsisting on a Supplemental Security Disability Income check. This critical program prevents vulnerable adults from mishandling their income and landing on the streets.
