Food For All DC

This World Hunger Day, FFA is renewing our commitment to ending hunger in DC.

Food insecurity is on the rise throughout our communities -- and each and every one of us can help DC residents access healthy, nutritious foods.

Visit our website to learn more about our work and see how to get involved.

This Memorial Day, Food for All DC honors and remembers the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

As we reflect on their sacrifice, we are reminded of the importance of community, compassion, and caring for one another — values that continue to guide our work every day.

Wishing everyone a safe and meaningful Memorial Day.

Spring has officially arrived in DC -- and FFA’s garden is blooming too!🥕🥬

Thanks to our new gardener Emily, we’re growing healthy, nutritious foods - including purple kale, butter lettuce, scallions, and Swiss chard - for the communities we serve across the District.
And to Rachel, a volunteer, who is assembling a planter bed. With two new planters, we can expand our harvest.

⚡ What an incredible day of collaboration, innovation, and action at the 2026 Senior Hunger Conference hosted by Capital Area Food Bank and proudly sponsored by The Washington Home! 🍎

Addressing senior hunger takes all sectors working together - and this conference brought leaders across food access, healthcare, philanthropy, housing, and government into one powerful conversation focused on improving the lives of older adults across DC.

We were proud to have our CEO, Crystal Carr Townsend, join the panel “Turning Insight into Action - A Leadership Dialogue,” moderated by NBC Washington’s Jim Handly, alongside an outstanding group of changemakers:

-Charon P.W. Hines, Executive Director, DC Department of Aging and Community Living
-Radha Muthiah, CEO, Capital Area Food Bank
-David Poms, Manager, Government Affairs & Policy, DC Primary Care Association - DCPCA

☀ A major highlight of the day was the launch of The Washington Home’s new Healthy Food Access Collaborative - a $704,000 investment supporting a citywide initiative uniting 11 partners to tackle food insecurity through coordinated, wraparound support for older adults in our community.

Together, we are building stronger systems, deeper partnerships, and healthier futures for older adults in every ward of our city. 💙

Hearing directly from clients is one of the most rewarding parts of our work. 💛

Meeting her delivery at the door, Ms. A commented, "FFA has been wonderful. The food is meeting all my health needs."

FFA’s garden is bringing volunteers together to serve the community -- including our own clients!

Last week, George, a participant in FFA’s Food as Medicine program, became the first client to volunteer in the garden. He joined the rest of our volunteers to water plants, assemble planters, and help expand FFA’s ability to provide healthy foods to our community. 🥕🥬

Thank you to all of the employees from Whole Foods Georgetown who recently volunteered with us!

We couldn’t do the work we do without our volunteers and community partners. 💛

We couldn’t do the work we do without all of our community partners and support. 💛

This week, we’re thanking My Organic Market in the Van Ness neighborhood -- MOM recently started donating food to FFA every Thursday evening, ensuring that the people we serve have access to fresh, organic groceries.

We love a good knowledge exchange 💛

This month, we hosted two team members from the Arlington Food Assistance Center (AFAC), who recently launched their own home delivery program.

We shared what we’ve learned, heard about their experience, and walked away inspired by what’s possible when organizations come together.

Stronger together 🤝
