I donate and volunteer at Community Lunch on Capitol Hill. It's a great organization that provides hot meals, clothing, medical assistance and other services to homeless and hungry people. Volunteers prepare and serve meals three times a week - there's great camaraderie among the volunteers and it's clear how important both the food and the sense of community is to the people Community Lunch serves. This is a grass roots organization that makes a real impact on people's lives. Food donations from local supermarkets, farmers' markets and restaurants help every dollar stretch a long way. I feel my donations to Community Lunch help make a difference in the lives of people in our community.
