WHAT WE DO
FOOD
Food For All DC (FFA), is a volunteer-run organization that has been providing food to people facing adversity in Washington, DC since 1984.
FFA delivers nutritious groceries to home-bound people throughout DC. Our recipients include those with health issues and disabilities, as well as older adults and single parents with young children.
VOLUNTEERISM
We offer opportunities for meaningful volunteer engagement that expresses a spirit of compassion into the world and brings people closer together.
FFA is proud to have maintained our volunteer-run character for almost 40 years. This demonstrates how noble intentions can be a powerful driving force for impactful social action.
SOLIDARITY
FFA provides bulk food deliveries for 12 partner organizations throughout Washington DC, creating a network of solidarity and greatly expanding our reach into the city.
Our partners use the food to not only stabilize lives but to also build stronger ties with their communities. Such bonds of familiarity and trust facilitate their work of union organizing, violence mitigation or referrals to other services.
