Formulario Solicitar Ayuda Con Comida y Pañales

Hello! We’re Food Justice DMV, a group of volunteers that delivers food, diapers, and other essentials.

We deliver to families in DC, and towns in Maryland and Virginia that are within 45 minutes of DC.

You should complete this form every time you need help.

We try to help as quickly as we can, but we have many families on our list, so it can take several weeks to get a delivery, and we can only deliver to each family once every 1-2 months.

Your information is kept confidential and will not be shared with anyone.
