There are over 9,000 homeless men, women and children in our Nation’s Capital. During the winter months, the need for winter coats, hats, socks, or scarves is crucial. Aside from homelessness, food instability is the sad reality for many as well. A warm, lovingly prepared meal given by a compassionate, sincerely present person means so much to a person in need.
The mission of Sweaters & Sustenance: D.C. is to provide warmth to homeless men, women and youth in our Nation’s Capital by delivering warm clothing and meals through compassionate volunteerism.
On the next day of service, Sweaters & Sustenance will go out into different communities of Washington, D.C. to deliver warm meals and gently worn coats to homeless men, women and youth. This event is driven by community donation. Your clothing will go directly to a person in need this year and 100% of your financial donation will go to the purchase of food to be prepared for and delivered on our Day of Service. If you would like to make a direct and powerful impact on the Washington D.C. community, please consider contributing in the following ways:
Coats of all sizes, hats, gloves, scarves
It takes just $15 to create a meal for a homeless person during our Day of Service
Non-perishable or perishable food items or baked goods
A lovingly written card or note to go with our meals and clothing
The Day of Service is not possible without compassionate and tireless volunteers. You can make this day possible by doing the following:

Gently worn clothing or non-perishable food items may be sent at any time to:
