History

 Food for All DC was established in 1984 in Washington DC in affiliation with Ananda Marga Universal Relief Team (AMURT). FFA started as a small operation providing cooked food for unhoused people across DC. In 1990, FFA transitioned to a grocery delivery program for anyone facing food insecurity.

Since FFA is specialized in home delivery, demand for our services exploded during the Covid-19 pandemic. Now, every week we provide 12,000 pounds of food to 200 households and 12 partner organizations, helping more than 1,500 people.

FFA has become a helpful referral agency 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).
