From an email:

“On Tuesday, Dec. 6 from 10:45 a.m. to 10 p.m., Chipotle Mexican Grill will host a fundraiser across restaurants in D.C. and the counties of Fairfax, Arlington, Montgomery and Prince George’s for D.C. Scores, the official charity of D.C. United that helps gives kids the confidence and skills to succeed on the playing field, in the classroom, and in life through free after-school programs.

When customers dining at any of these locations mention the fundraiser at the register, Chipotle will donate 50 percent of the proceeds to D.C. Scores.

Chipotle is proud to partner with the D.C. Scores, a program dedicated to making sure every child experiences the joys of childhood: sports, arts, service, and being part of a team. “

“Dear PoPville,

Friends of mine have decided to skip Christmas presents this year and instead are raising money to buy a truck to donate to Standing Rock Medic & Healing center. The family will spend Christmas driving it out there to support the water protectors.”

The fundraising page says:

“We are a family of 4 living in Alexandria VA. My wife and I live in a suburban community with children in high school. This winter we plan to drive a pickup truck up to the Standing Rock Medic and Healer Council and donate it to the cause. This fundraiser will supply the funds to purchase the truck, snow tires, supplies and other things needed to complete this endeavor. (more…)

From an email:

“DC residents can support the library simply by eating at any DC or MD metro area ShopHouse Tuesday between 11 am – 3 pm. 50% of the proceeds will go back to DC Public Library if the customer requests so at the register.”

“Dear PoPville,

My friend is running a coat drive for families served by Contemporary Family Services in DC. Here’s the drop off spots around DC. Please spread the word.”

“Dear PoPville,

I am Staff Attorney at the Capital Area Immigrants’ Rights (CAIR) Coalition, a DC-based immigration legal non-profit. I work with immigrant youth in detention centers in the area that are run by the Office of Refugee Resettlement. This month, we are focusing the spotlight on our Detained Children’s Program and the clients we serve through our First Annual Noviembre de Niños: Stand Up with Immigrant Youth! We have highlighted accessible ways that people can help support our detained child clients, such as purchasing an item off our Amazon wish list that we will deliver to detained immigrant children who are far from family and friends.”
