Helping With Homeless Food Runs

Come spend time with our homeless friends in downtown D.C.! Many homeless are not only hungry, but just want someone to talk to, so be ready to hear some great stories!

Sponsoring a Homeless Food Run: Frequently Asked Questions

  • What do I make?

    Every Thursday we aim to make 40 bag lunches. Lunches include: sandwiches (preferably meat and cheese), chips, fruit, water, or baked goods.

    Requirements: all food is individually wrapped. If fruit or snacks are given, please make sure they are soft; our friends' teeth can be sensitive. Bananas, soft granola bars, and chips are all good ideas.

  • How much will it cost?

    40 lunches usually cost between $20-30.

  • How long will it take?

    Around two hours: one hour to shop and one hour to make.

  • When should meals be done by?

    Before 6:30 pm on Thursdays, delivered to the Campus Ministry Office at the basement level of Caldwell Hall.

  • Who do the meals serve?

    Meals are delivered to our friends on the street near Union Station.

  • Can I attend the food run?

    Yes! Review the information on this page for more details.
