From the good people at Small Planes Coffee (2400 T Street, NE):

“The government shut down + the generally tough times in D.C. as of late have got us feeling a little 🌀🦀😵‍💫 these days. We wanted to take a moment to show our appreciation for this wonderful community by doing a donation day for folks affected by the turmoil right now.

On Tuesday, 11/11, we’ll be opening our doors to the public at the roastery from 9am-4pm (or while supplies last) to giveaway bags o’ beans and freshly brewed drip coffee! Swing by 2400 T Street NE, WDC 20002.

We believe in the power of community & connection, and look forward to seeing you”


Thanks to all who have served and all who continue to serve honorably. Back to our regular schedule tomorrow.

From an email:

“We’ve had tremendous response from the community and are very nearly there but still need volunteer table servers for Safeway Feast of Sharing on Wednesday, November 26.

WHAT:

Volunteer Registration for the 26th Annual Safeway Feast of Sharing presented by Events DC is now open, with the support of their community partners, including the Salvation Army handling volunteers. Safeway Feast of Sharing is one of the District’s most meaningful Thanksgiving traditions, created to serve a complete seated turkey dinner to thousands of our city’s residents in need, many of whom are unlikely to have one otherwise. Beyond a holiday meal, the event offers a health and community services expo, personal care bags, a coat giveaway and more.

RULES: (more…)

This location may be permanently closed, but not our connection to this amazing community.

Please visit us at one of our other locations.’
