Distribution will take place in historic Anacostia at the Big Chair (Martin Luther King, Jr. Ave, SE and V Street SE – Anacostia metro station off the Green Line). In addition, we will be distributing bagged lunches at the MLK Jr. Memorial Library (901 G Street, NW, Washington, DC 20001 – Gallery Place or Metro Center metro stations).<br /><br /> <br />We would like to humbly ask you to share and/or post the attached if you know of anyone who can benefit. This “Day of Service” event for the annual King Holiday provides an opportunity for hundreds of people each year to serve and fellowship with the increasing number of underserved and homeless people living in the nation’s capital. We Feed Our People is an all-volunteer organization and has served the homeless for the past 26 years.<br /> <br /><br />For additional information, including volunteer opportunities, we invite you to visit our website (WeFeedOurPeople.org) or feel free to email us wefeedourpeople@gmail.com. <br /><br /> <br /><br />All the best,<br /><br /> <br /><br />We Feed Our People Planning Committee<br /><br /><br />from Donna Potts, President DC Recovery Community Alliance (DCRCA)<br /><br />donna.potts@comcast.net<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Donna Pottsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2064659105461495134.post-65500462844725006352012-10-29T03:20:18.088-04:002012-10-29T03:20:18.088-04:00I just discovered Anacostia, but I see that I am o...I just discovered Anacostia, but I see that I am one year too late.

I am on the outside looking in and must admit there is validity in the posting created by anonymous. However I get a very bad vibe that those of you that are most educated and/or sensible enough to post the things that matter via the internet are quarrelling and not taking these opinions to those who need to hear the messages the most. I feel that there is a divide amongst residents. There are mixed messages and mindsets. In order to get on the same page, we need to define community and understand that at some point in our histories the entities that made a community counted for something. I plan to start on the streets. I would like to clean up the neighborhoods; literally. How can we become organized if we are unorganized?Enoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2064659105461495134.post-835752817493498982012-01-12T03:11:33.789-05:002012-01-12T03:11:33.789-05:00The food truck business is a real great thing.

I've been enchanted with Anacostia the first time my partner and I drove through it and I noticed messages of deep meaning such as "tell me something i used to know but forgot," and "you've changed" posted on the windows of empty buildings. Still don't know who put those messages up, but seeing those words was like finding unexpected treasure: the most beautiful and honest thing I've seen in DC.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2064659105461495134.post-40520294996348601602011-12-07T12:20:47.632-05:002011-12-07T12:20:47.632-05:00You should never combine a development of renters ...You should never combine a development of renters and buyers.
