Washington D.C. - Day of Service

About SOME: In 1970, Father Horace McKenna, S.J. and an interfaith group of priests, ministers, and lay persons founded So Others Might Eat to help feed the city’s destitute citizens. The first meals were served out of the basement of St. Aloysius Church on North Capitol Street. In recent years, SOME has opened a number of affordable, dignified residences for homeless families and single adults throughout the DC metro area. SOME is best known for food; and, indeed, more than 1,000 meals are served each day in our dining room and other programs; but today, SOME offers comprehensive programs that meet a full spectrum of needs while giving a sense of dignity to the poor and homeless of the District of Columbia.
