Thank you very much for your cumulative donation of 15 holiday food baskets and 15 Thanksgiving turkeys. There is certainly a great need for the many people who come to SOME for help and your items helped make the holiday a lot brighter for 15 low-income families. Beginning as a soup kitchen in 1970, SOME has grown to encompass a wide variety of programs and services, including Single Room Occupancy (SRO) housing, transitional housing, job training, addictions recovery treatment, health care, mental health care, elderly care, and an after-school program. We appreciate your efforts and consistency in donating to us. The items you donated this winter season have helped support initiatives within these programs and aide in our mission of assisting the homeless and destitute population of the Washington, D.C. metro area.Sincerely, Stephanie Shallah Program Manager, Non-Monetary Donations | SOME (So Others Might Eat) sshallah@some.org |
