“PoPville peeps,
I volunteer with Charlie’s Place, a tremendous DC homeless program in Dupont Circle that provides meals and counseling to the homeless in the neighborhood. I’m hoping the PoPville community can come through as usual to show this little DC charity some Thanksgiving love. We need donations of food or funds to provide their Thanksgiving meal – see the list above.
Because everybody wants to volunteer on Thanksgiving Day, the bigger DC shelters provide a big meal on that day to take advantage of the volunteer demand. This meets the demand for the homeless on that day, so we’ve decided to deliver an early Thanksgiving meal a week ahead, on Nov. 15.
We’ve even got a very generous professional chef to volunteer her expertise to prepare the meal. But we need donations for the ingredients. Donors can provide the food products (deliver anytime from 6 a.m to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday at the address below) or just donate funds for us to purchase them here and reference the Thanksgiving Meal in the designation box. We’ve got a big list and of course welcome any partial donations of our ingredients. Questions? [email protected]
Thank you PoPville!”
