During this season of giving, HSCSN is here to support you and your family with care, compassion, and community. We understand that the holidays can be a joyful time, but they can also bring added stress, especially when it comes to making sure there is enough healthy food on the table. You are not alone.
HSCSN is working closely with local community partners, food distribution programs, and neighborhood organizations throughout Washington, D.C. to help families access fresh produce, canned goods, pantry staples, and free community food resources. These programs are designed to support the health and well-being of children, young adults, caregivers, and families during the holiday season and beyond.
Whether you are looking for a one-time food pick-up event, a weekly produce distribution, or ongoing meal support, this guide can help you find the resources closest to you. Our goal is to make sure every family has access to nutritious foods that support growth, health, and peace of mind.
You are part of our HSCSN community. We are here for you—today, during the holidays, and throughout the year.
