About DC Food Project

DC Food Project launched in 2018 to provide school children and their families access to additional food resources during the school day and over the weekends when school meals are not available to them. Our non-profit fills what we refer to as "the gap" -- what happens when lunch is over? This gap has an impact on tens of thousands of students, with 1 in 5 children struggling with hunger in DC alone. We work with closely with school administrators, school districts, local businesses, residents, and other organizations to raise funds and provide food and toiletries to kids who need additional support. Our intention is to continue to expand DC Food Project programs throughout schools in Washington, DC. and Virginia. Our work is focused on our Pantry Program and Share Table Program targeting students and families in dire need. Since our inception seven years ago, our team has provided over 3.5 million meals to students, families and seniors through our various programs in hopes we can be a part of the solution to eliminate hunger in Washington DC and the surrounding area. This year, we are on track to deliver our 5 millionth meal. Our Mission is simple: To eliminate child hunger by increasing access to nutritious food through unique partnerships with schools.
