As the Temperature Drops
With this exceptionally cold winter, our thoughts should be with those who are most exposed to the elements, the homeless and the elderly. Those most vulnerable are most in need of our help.
So Others Might Eat (SOME) exists to help the poor and destitute of Washington, D.C., particularly the homeless and elderly. The goal of SOME is never to pass judgment but to nourish, support and when, need be, challenge. It strives to meet the needs of the poor and homeless through immediate services such as food, clothing, and medical care. SOME also works to empower its clients through substance-abuse rehabilitation, job training and housing programs so that they can eliminate their cycles of poverty and dependence. SOME helps people help themselves, and it invites you to help.
Located at 71 O St. NW, SOME is best known for its meals, serving between 800 and 1,000 each day. This deserving group needs our help. Please visit its website and click on “ways to help.”
DC Metro Action is published by Michael Schlesinger, a 32-year veteran of electoral and issue organizing who is committed to social justice and to increasing participation in the political process.
