The summer is time for vacations, family trips, and splashing in the pool, and the TBWF family has spent time doing all three. We also continued food deliveries to ward 8, where many children no longer have access to regular school meals.
We continued delivering food to Eagle Academy students attending summer school, and have expanded our deliveries to Far Southeast Family Strengthening Collaborative (FSFSC), where we are often met by a line of neighbors awaiting the arrival of our little blue van. Families from Savoy ES are using the FSFSC Congress Heights Community Center as a location to pick up food while the school is out of session for the summer.
Families received an enormous bounties of amazing fruit and veggies from Freshfarm Dupont Circle Farmer's market, including peaches, cherries, corn corn and more corn, eggplant, nectarines, rainbow chard and zucchini.
Wegmans continues to supply us with pounds and pounds of meat including pork shoulders, steaks, chicken, and even duck! Thanks to Food Rescue DC, we are rescuing food from our local Wegmans twice weekly, and are so happy we can deliver this amazing food that would otherwise go to waste.
Thank you! Fighting childhood hunger in Washington DC is a community effort.
