Needs From: MC Serves!

Food & Friends is the only community-based nonprofit that provides medically tailored meals and nutrition counseling to adults and children living with life-challenging illnesses in the D.C. region. As a volunteer dependent organization, our need for volunteers grows every day, especially as we continue to navigate through the COVID-19 pandemic. We have group and individual volunteering opportunities to help with all stages of our food preparation, from chopping vegetables to packing groceries, and our meal delivery. For Food Preparation & Packaging, we welcome groups and individuals aged 14 or older. Groups can sign up for shifts Monday to Saturday from 9AM-12PM and Monday to Thursday from 1PM-3PM onsite at 219 Riggs Road NE, Washington, DC 20011. Volunteers can also sign up for a Meal & Grocery Delivery shift throughout Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia. Drivers must be 18 and older, but there is no age limit for passengers. NOTE: As a recipient of DC government funding, Food & Friends is required to implement workplace COVID-19 vaccination and booster mandates, which means that in order to volunteer with us, we require all individuals to be fully vaccinated with at least one booster (if eligible). Please see the attached flyer and packet for volunteer information or visit our website at www.foodandfriends.org . For more information or to sign up for a shift, please contact Chanel Moore (Volunteer Services Manager) at cmoore@foodandfriends.org or (202) 269-6832.
