WASHINGTON, SEPTEMBER 17 - With children back to school and the fall soccer season underway, we recognize that September also marks National Hunger Awareness Month. In Washington, D.C., there are 72,000 individuals experiencing food insecurity – and a fourth of these are children. In partnership with the DC Food Project , we are asking if you would consider donating to support the DC Food Project this month in honor of National Hunger Awareness. DONATE HERE Funding allows the DC Food Projec t to continue providing support to 70+ schools in the District and Northern Virginia. Your donation will help the DC Food Project stock school pantries and allow them to onboard additional schools, so students can access a broader range of necessities that include food and personal products on an as-needed basis. Over the past few years, our club has proudly partnered with the DC Food Project by hosting donation drives to support school communities, volunteering to deliver donated food to schools, and donating soccer equipment to children throughout the city. The DC Food Project is an incredible organization that makes a big impact in our community through its work every day in the fight against hunger. If you are unable to donate but are interested in volunteering, you can read more here or contact dcfoodproject@gmail.com . About the DC Food Project The DC Food Project was launched in 2018 by a group of DC area moms to help school children and their families get additional food during the school day and over the weekends when school meals are not available to them. The DC Food Project founders created a 501(c)(3) to fill what they refer to as "the gap" -- what happens when lunch is over? This gap has an impact on tens of thousands of students, with 1 in 5 children struggling with hunger in DC alone. Since their inception six years ago, the DC Food Project has provided over 3.5 million meals to students, families and seniors through their various programs. The organization supports over 3,000 pre-identified students and has partnered with over 70 schools throughout all 8 wards in Washington, D.C. It runs the largest school Pantry Program in the city, designed as a place where students can discreetly get food and items they need, including age appropriate toiletries and other household items on an as-needed basis.
