SOME (So Others Might Eat)

✨ Holiday magic came alive as SOME families enjoyed a festive celebration thanks to our wonderful partners DC United and Marlo Furniture! Through Operation Marlo Miracles: Dreams Start Here, families were treated to delicious food, fun games, and special appearances by mascot Talon, bringing extra holiday cheer to our community! The celebration marked an incredible partnership that's helping create cozy homes for the holidays - with 60 complete new bed sets 🛏️ donated by Marlo Furniture, plus gift cards 💳 donated by DC United to help our residents purchase holiday gifts. This generous support means more SOME residents will have a warm, comfortable place to rest their heads this holiday season! 🏠❤️ Thank you DC United Foundation and Marlo Furniture for making dreams come true for our families!

We are so very grateful to the National Association of Counties whose staff nominated us for outstanding charity of the year and made this very generous donation to SOME (So Others Might Eat)

Time is running out! ⏰ Help us reach our goal of $100,000 by midnight tomorrow to provide holiday meals for those in need.
