Tragedy struck Yemi’s family in 1990 when her father died in a car accident, leaving her mother, Amarch Abaye, widowed with Yemi and her five siblings.
We invite you to support FFA’s end-of-year campaign, We Rise by Lifting Others. By giving this season, you’re not just providing food to hungry neighbors - you’re helping lift them up in profound ways.
First, you provide food security, strengthening health and preventing long-term issues linked to poor nutrition. Second, you allow people to focus on other important aspects of their lives, like work, education, and family. By reducing the stress caused by hunger, you give DC neighbors the mental space to pursue stability and independence.
Food is a fundamental right * Solidarity is a force for good * Volunteerism is a human need
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.
