Volunteers Needed this Saturday at We Are Family

Mark Anderson is a long-time friend of Bread for the City. He does amazing work for low-income and home-bound senior citizens in our neighborhood, and this Saturday he needs your help.

We Are Family, his organization, has a big North Capitol grocery delivery this Saturday at the Metropolitan Community Church followed by a Columbia Heights delivery next week.

He typically has big student groups help with the deliveries, but he does not have one scheduled this Saturday. If you have transportation and are able to help, please contact Mark at WeAreFamilyDC[at]aol[dot]com.

"We also can make visits work ANY TIME you (or a group) would like to come to our seniors, and help out... or we can connect you with an individual senior to visit whenever it is convenient. Just write, or give a call, OK? We'll make it so!" -Mark
