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!
