    Info

    Operated through a partnership between the DC Department of Parks and Recreation and the Office of the State Superintendent of Education, this site hosts the seasonal DC Youth Meals Program, an open-access summer feeding site serving free, ready-to-eat breakfast and lunch meals on-site to local youth when school is out. Hunger doesn't take a summer break, and these meals help children and teens get the nutrition they need to learn, play, and grow during the months when National School Lunch and School Breakfast meals are not universally available. The program is funded by the US Department of Agriculture's Summer Food Service Program, and the site is hosted inside the 4-story Columbia Heights Community Center, one of DPR's larger neighborhood recreation facilities.

  15. Do I need an appointment?

    Every location is different! Some places in Adams Morgan accept appointments, some require it, and others allow walk-ins. Please review all details on the resource page to understand how you should prepare for your visit.

  16. What kind of food do they have?

    Food pantries offer grocery-style items such as canned food, fresh produce, and dry goods like pasta or rice that you can cook yourself. Soup kitchens offer ready-to-eat items like hot meals or sandwiches. All of these locations may have different options on different days, so it is hard to tell what each one of them will offer any given day.

  17. Do they have vegetables?

    Pantries may have different options at different times, so it is hard to tell what each one of them will offer any given day. Most pantries in Adams Morgan do give out some form of vegetables, but they may be canned items.

  18. Do they have meat?

    Pantries may have different options on different days, so it’s hard to tell what each one of them will offer any given day.

  19. Any pantries open today?

    If you’ve signed up for personalized assistance through our text message helpline, please take a look at the links we’ve sent you!

  21. Can I get a reminder before my visit?

    Yes! Tap the bell icon on any resource page to set a reminder via text or WhatsApp before it opens, so you don’t forget your visit.

  22. Can I build a weekly food schedule?
