The DC Diaper Bank provides families across the DMV with essentials such as diapers, formula,…read moreclothes, and personal hygiene products. I first came in contact with the organization and the work they did during last year's government shutdown. I really felt for the parents not knowing when their next paycheck was coming in and the fear of not being able to pay for the items that their baby needs. I learned more about the organization and found out that while they have a large depot in the city but they have many partners in DC, MD and Va that help them distribute items to the people who need them. Because of coronavirus, it is the first time in years that the diaper bank's warehouse has been stripped completely empty. The need for donations is great and the need does not look like it will lessen anytime soon. If you have the ability to donate, you can send items to them directly through their Amazon wishlist (https://smile.amazon.com/baby-reg/greaterdcdiaperbank--january-2020-silverspring/32BHD0GQPV4IX), through a donation, or by giving your time. If you need help you can see if there is a distribution hub near you here: https://greaterdcdiaperbank.org/our-programs/diaperhubs/ Thank you to the people at DC Diaper Bank for helping parents and families everywhere!

I am so pleased to have met and know some of the amazing people that work at this organization…read more Bethesda Cares mission is to prevent, end, and ease homelessness. When searching for a non profit in the area to try and help support- I thought to the most basic needs of a human's life. Shelter, Water, Food. Nobody should be without a home. And Bethesda Cares feels the same way. Not only do they offer lunches throughout the week, they provide shower facilities, daytime shelter, and mail services. To prevent those from becoming homeless, they work with people who are in apartments but are in danger of having their utilities shut off, or people who are possibly facing eviction. They are truly angels - and contrary to the name- Bethesda Cares serves those through the county. There are more than 800 chronically homeless citizens. Some with mental and physical health issues. As a community of millions, we should be able to ban together to help Bethesda Cares in it's mission and end homelessness in the region. I will continue to help them whenever I can, and I hope that these amazing people are blessed in each and every part of their lives.

Their belief that people need housing as a base for getting stabilized, is well grounded in research. Bethesda Cares works on a small budget, and they keep costs down, so 95% of donated dollars go directly into housing people. They are dependent on donations, and are appreciative of every dollar donors give to them.
