    Info

    Food For All DC is a volunteer‑run nonprofit that provides home‑delivered groceries to homebound DC residents. Households typically receive two bags of food each month, up to about 40 lb, including shelf‑stable staples and fresh items such as produce, dairy, and meat. The program honors dietary preferences and restrictions, and may increase delivery frequency during hardships. New clients must be referred by a case manager or social worker.

  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! If none of the resources we’ve sent are open today, let us know and we can search for additional options. Here’s a list of everything in Adams Morgan that’s open today: Latin American Youth Center Food Pantry

  20. Where are you located?

    Because our work is mostly virtual, the Lemontree team works remotely, and we don’t have an office in Adams Morgan for in-person visits. You can always reach us by texting 90847 or on WhatsApp between 10am-6pm, every day of the week.

  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?

    Yes — you can use Lemontree to build a calendar of upcoming pantry visits in Adams Morgan for the week, so you always know where to go and when. It’s a great way to plan ahead and make sure you have food throughout the week.
