For people living with HIV/AIDS, cancer and other life-challenging illnesses, the battle is far from over. We just make sure no one has to face it on an empty stomach.
Along with nutrition counseling, Food & Friends prepares, packages and delivers meals and groceries to more than 1,000 people living with HIV/AIDS, cancer and other life-challenging illnesses throughout Washington, DC, 7 counties of Maryland and 7 counties and 6 independent cities in Virginia. Since 1988, Food & Friends has provided food and companionship to our clients, their loved ones and caregivers.
The Food & Friends kitchen and grocery pantry are always hopping with activity! We prepare over 3,000 meals each day, so it takes many helping hands to make sure all the food is prepped, portioned, and packaged correctly. It�s a fun, hands-on atmosphere where you can learn as much about how to chop an onion as you can about the volunteer who is chopping next to you.
Join us for another regular engagement at Food and Friends! We can take 10 volunteers to help to prepare the over 400 meals that Food and Friends delivers each day to persons homebound with AIDS or AIDS related illnesses. We don't do any deliveries, but we will do things like make and pack sandwiches, box the meals, and chop veggies. No cooking skills required!

Run or Dye is the color-blasted fun run for everyone! As participants run, walk, or skip through the course, people will shower them with safe, eco-friendly, powdered dye...turning it into a technicolor canvas of fun! In order for this event to happen, they need volunteers like you! Make-A-Wish will receive a generous donation for each volunteer we provide and will also benefit from a portion of the registration proceeds. We look forward to a fun event and a great partnership.

For over 15 years, Books for International Goodwill (B.I.G.) has successfully recycled used books for productive use by those who need books for schools and libraries to improve literacy in developing communities around the world. B.I.G. is a project begun by the Parole Rotary Club of Annapolis and is now an independent non-profit entity. It's motto is "Spreading Literacy by Keeping Books Alive".
We'll be sorting and packing books by age level (please see sorting and packing info below), for shipment to overseas locations. B.I.G. has shipped millions of books to Africa, Eastern Europe, and other areas of the world.
If there's sufficient interest, we may go to lunch afterwards at a nearby restaurant.
You'll want to wear some old clothes, since they might get a little dirty. You may also want to bring a pair of work gloves.
