How can we help
4225 Connecticut Avenue NW
Distribution: Sundays 1-3pm
Donations: Sat/Sun 11am-3pm
NW Community Food serves our food-insecure neighbors across Ward 3 and beyond. Although Ward 3 has a reputation as the most affluent in the city, many long-time residents, as well as newer residents, are living on the edge. Although they may have places they can call home, other resources are lacking. The pantry is working to fill this gap, serving 200 households each week.
You do not need any documentation or identification to receive food or other items from NW Community Food.
