• We are a food pantry that distributes fresh fruits and vegetables, household cleaning items, personal hygiene items, and canned/boxed foods. Based on donations from local businesses, we also try to distribute milk and cheese, baked goods, meats, and ready-made meals.

**We give out food and cleaning items every Sunday from 1 to 3 pm, rain or shine. If pantry guests arrive at 2 pm, the line is shorter and there still is plenty of food. We are open on holidays.

• For people who are unable to visit the pantry in person due to disability, we deliver groceries to homes during weekends. This depends on how many volunteer drivers we have.

• We are located behind the building at 4340 Connecticut Ave NW, Washington, DC. We are a block north of the Van Ness Metro station on the Red line on the west side.
