Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
All clients are low-income DC residents. Bread for the City has five major program areas: Food Program: Distributes a three-day supply of groceries to hungry people. We feed over 4,500 households each month, predominately elderly, disabled or families with children.
Clothing Program: Distributes seasonally appropriate casual and professional clothing.
Medical Program: Offers primary medical care for children and adults. The clinic provides job physicals, medications, lab tests and referrals.
Social Services Program: Provides a wide range of counseling, case management and representative payee services. Staff helps clients apply for public benefits like SSI or Food Stamps, and helps clients access a wide range of services available throughout the city.
Legal Program: Attorneys represent and advise clients in three areas of law: landlord-tenant, public benefits, and family law.
