Breaking the Cycle of Poverty and Homelessness for Over 54 Years
Since 1970, SOME has been a care provider and a beacon of hope to residents in our nation’s capital. Our services are available to individuals, families, senior citizens, veterans, and those affected by physical or mental illness. Every day, we strive to break the cycle of poverty and homelessness through our comprehensive Whole Person Care approach.
The Need
DC has one of the highest poverty rates in the country. Currently, there are more than 74,000 men, women and children experiencing hunger in our nation’s capital, and the issue is particularly challenging for Black and Latinx residents.
Appreciation for our shared humanity and our sense of community has been a central pillar of our operations for over 54 years.
Our compassionate team of volunteers, staff, donors, and board members embody this commitment every day by serving, healing and upholding all members of our community.
