Success Stories

How we helped LeJuan find a place to call home

LeJuan was doing everything right. She was working full-time to support her two young children, and when her older son needed help raising his kids, she took in her grandchildren, too. But, then her employer went out of business, and she was laid off. Suddenly, she had no job and no income. She struggled to keep up with her bills and feed four kids. She found herself with nowhere to turn, just like more than 53,000 others who are unemployed across the District. That’s when Bread for the City stepped in.

Bread for the City’s services are made possible through the support of thousands of donors like you. Without your support, we would not be able to provide the food, clothing, social, legal, advocacy, and medical services that we do to 10,000 DC residents every month. Thank you!


Bread for the City will be closed, and our farmers market will be canceled on Friday, March 21. This is so our staff have the chance to attend the memorial service for one of our team members. We apologize for the inconvenience.
