Food for Others Honored by the Catalogue for Philanthropy

The Catalogue for Philanthropy: Greater Washington has selected Food for Others to be featured in the 2010-11 Catalogue. A panel of 100 expert reviewers from area foundations, corporate giving programs, peer non-profit organizations, and the DC government evaluated nearly 250 applications; Food for Others is one of 70 outstanding nonprofits to be featured this year.

Now in its eighth year, the Catalogue’s mission is to generate visibility and resources for the best community-based nonprofits, and to create more meaningful experiences for donors. According to Barbara Harman, President and Editor of the Catalogue for Philanthropy: Greater Washington, "We know that nonprofits have had another very difficult year, and the economy continues to create challenges: dollars are down and need is up. Individual donors can continue to make a real difference – as they did last year -- keeping great organizations afloat during these tough times.”

Please visit the new Catalogue website – the only regional philanthropy site of its kind in the country. It includes a gift registry, gift cards, a section especially for kids, and other great giving options. The website also connects donors with volunteer opportunities, events, news, videos, and more.

"Charities were selected for excellence, cost-effectiveness, and impact" Harman said. “These are certainly among the best community-based nonprofits in the Washington region.”

 

Project Complete!

After many months of planning and construction,

    

we are pleased to be able to use our new 

refrigerator (right in photo) and freezer (left) in time for the hot summer months. 

Large enough for a pallet jack, loading and unloading the new boxes is very convenient. 

We thank all of our generous donors who have made this project happen!
