While we're proud of the work we’ve done this budget season, DC’s budget for the upcoming fiscal year (FY2025) falls far short of what is needed to connect our neighbors to life-saving housing and social services. Although we are still a long way from adequate investments in ending homelessness, we know the work continues.

About us
Miriam’s Kitchen is a non-profit organization committed to ending chronic and veteran homelessness in Washington, DC. Our approach to ending homelessness begins with a fresh, healthy meal surrounded by meaningful connection and community. From there, we help our neighbors experiencing homelessness improve health, increase income, obtain housing, and remain stably housed through a range of programs and partnerships. We advocate for permanent supportive housing as a long-term solution, and collaborate with leaders city-wide to make instances of homelessness rare, brief and non-recurring.

Thank you for sharing your time and talents with us!
Our American Chemical Society communications division came together to pack kits with essential goods for people experiencing homelessness in the DC area. Volunteering together was a powerful reminder of community spirit and the impact we can make together. I am thankful Wes joined us to share his journey dealing with chronic homelessness to now being a spokesperson at Miriam's Kitchen.
