To Be Well Fed Newsletter

August/September 2022 TBWF Highlights

Thank you for supporting To Be Well Fed! Your support helps provide groceries for 150 students and their families every week.

To Be Well Fed is excited to announce a new food rescue partnership with the Wegmans in our neighborhood! We collect food contributions from them twice a week thanks to Food Rescue DC!

Thanks to PlusOne and Food Rescue, we continue to collect food contributions from Moms Organic Market and the Sunday FreshFarm Farmer’s Market at Dupont Circle – these rescues provide us with BEAUTIFUL, organic produce, dairy products, meats, and vegetarian/vegan proteins! The communities we serve do not have easy access to this kind of healthy, nutritious food so we are grateful to do the work to pick up, sort, and distribute this bounty to the scholars and families at Eagle Academy, at Friendship SE Academy, and Savoy Elementary in Ward 8.

Our children were featured in a blog post on the No Child Goes Hungry website – check it out here! Our 13 year-old had some great quotes – and has been invited to participate in a podcast about food rescue and food insecurity in Washington DC in October! Stay tuned for a link to the podcast on social media and in the next TBWF Newsletter.

We had a successful t-shirt fundraiser! THANK YOU to all who participated!!!!! We raised $993 total! We can’t wait to see folks sporting their TBWF pride! Green looks good on everyone!!!

We had a table at the annual Chevy Chase DC Day put on by the Chevy Chase Citizens Association. It was a lovely day and gave us a chance to talk with folks about food insecurity in Washington DC. We handed out flyers about TBWF and about what they can do about food insecurity in their neighborhoods.

If you missed any previous newsletters, you can now catch up on our website using the Newsletter tab at the top!

Fighting childhood hunger in Washington DC is a community effort. We are grateful for the support of each and every one of you!
