History

Food for All DC was established in 1984 to provide hot meals for unhoused residents across Washington, DC. In 1990, FFA transitioned to a grocery delivery program for homebound people facing food insecurity.

Because FFA specializes in home delivery, demand for our services surged during the COVID-19 pandemic. Today, we provide more than 8,000 pounds of food each week to 220 households and over 50 unhoused neighbors.

FFA has also become a trusted referral resource for DC-based social workers from health providers, DC Public Schools, and community organizations

Mission

Food For All’s mission is to provide food assistance to people who are food insecure, offer meaningful civic engagement for volunteers, and build bonds of solidarity with like-minded organizations in the Washington, D.C. region.

Legal Status

Food For All became an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in the District of Columbia in late 2024 with tax ID (EIN): 99-2494708. 
 
For 40 years prior, FFA operated under the fiscal sponsorship of AMURT (Ananda Marga Universal Relief Team).
