Do you have some time and an interest in helping low-income and isolated seniors? SOME (So Others Might Eat) is looking for volunteers to help some of our most needy seniors in DC. Opportunities vary; some seniors are looking for someone to just chat with, while others may need help with some of the following: rides to doctors appointments, light cleaning, light cooking, or help with an errand or two each month. You would be matched with one senior based off what you are comfortable with and what the senior needs. This opportunity requires appoximately 5 hours a month, which includes two visits and two phone calls each month. The schedule you make with your senior is entirely based on your and the senior's availability. If you are interested in this type of commitment, please contact us!

Mission Statement
SOME exists to help the poor and homeless of our nation's capital. We meet the immediate daily needs of the people we serve with food, clothing, and health care. We help break the cycle of homelessness by offering services, such as affordable housing, job training, addiction treatment, and counseling, to the poor, the elderly and individuals with mental illness.
Description
SOME has been serving the homeless and poor since 1970. Today, we are the only interfaith organization in the District that offers a comprehensive and holistic approach to caring for the homeless and extremely poor residents of our city. Though best known for serving more than 800 meals every day of the week, we provide programs that meet a full spectrum of needs that restore hope and dignity to the men, women, and children who come to our doors.
SOME's integrated service model allows poor and homeless individuals in our community to move forward on a path out of homelessness and poverty.
