Thanksgiving 2025 Volunteering at Food For All DC
November 25, 2025 @ 8:30 am - 11:30 am
Free
Join us for a volunteer shift to help provide groceries for home-bound DC residents for Thanksgiving with Food For All DC.
Food For All DC provides nutritious groceries to home-bound, food insecure people throughout DC. A volunteer-run organization, they provide food for all who qualify instead of focusing on a certain sub-population. They also make meals that are distributed at the MLK Library for the unhoused.
During this volunteer shift, we’ll be packing bags full of groceries to be delivered to people’s homes.
The shift lasts from 8:30 AM to 11:30 AM. In case you need to show up late, please choose the time you will be arriving during sign up so that we can better plan!
Spots are limited!
In addition to donating your time, we ask all those who are able to bring at least 1 item of food to donate. Those needed most are:
- Refrigerated chicken
