So Others Might Eat

Advocacy and Social Justice Network

Dear Advocacy Network Member,

It’s September and we're getting ready for a new season!

Our New Resource to Help Homeless People Find Food

With the help of dedicated volunteers and cooperation from other advocates, we've developed a Food Assistance Resource for the Homeless. We believe it provides information about all D.C. meal providers and food pantries for homeless people. Our hope is that this resource will help homeless people find their next meal, service providers to make referrals, and advocates to identify unmet needs. The resource is a series of very detailed spreadsheets. You can find it on the new Access to Nutritious Food page on our website.

We'd welcome your feedback. Please contact Nechama Masliansky at nmasliansky@some.org.

Advocacy

The D.C. City Council will soon return from its summer break. We're preparing to meet with Council Members on a range of issues affecting homeless and other low-income people. Our priorities include:

Finding new funding sources to increase affordable housing

Improvements in homeless services for families and individuals, including seniors

Better funding for physical and mental healthcare

Limits on interest charges for payday loans

Protecting the jobs of workers who need time to deal with family emergencies

We'll be asking you to join us in advocating for these issues in the months ahead.
