A Holiday Tradition

At Bread for the City, we believe nobody should have to forego holidays, celebrations, and family traditions regardless of their ability to pay. That is why every year during the months of November and December, we rally together to raise money to provide DC community members living on low-incomes with a turkey and all the trimmings. Holiday Helpings is a longstanding and cherished Bread for the City tradition that provides thousands of DC families with a holiday meal every year.

Last year, we celebrated with 9,000 neighbors, and this year, we expect to reach 11,000 families by Christmas Eve.  Will you celebrate the holidays with us?
