At DC Greens, we’re committed to finding pathways to advance health equity and food access in our nation’s capital. Our work is multifaceted, focusing on direct service programs, policy and advocacy initiatives, and serving as host for critical connections across the community.

We believe a just and resilient food system — and city — is possible. That’s why we’re always working to bridge the gaps between D.C’s residents and the resources that empower and serve them.

Take, for example, The Well at Oxon Run, DC Greens’ place-based community wellness space in Ward 8. This year, we hosted our second annual resource fair at The Well for residents of Wards 7 and 8, where we connected more than 30 community organizations directly to community members in attendance. These are the connections that create lasting change by ensuring all who are interested in services can obtain them.

And so, in the spirit of connection and transformation, our combined outreach efforts continue. This Resource Guide is part of that. Inside this booklet, we’ve included key information about the organizations providing vital services to the community. We’ve listed how to contact them directly. Our goal is that with every page turn, you can access the programs and services you need, whenever you
need them.

Thank you for being a part of the collective effort to transform the system.
