During Fall 2008, board members of the Mississippi Society of Washington will volunteer their time at “Food & Friends”. If you are interested in participating in these volunteer activities, please contact Zandria Ivy at zandriaivy@gmail.com or mississippisociety@yahoo.com.

Food & Friends
Reverend Carla Gorrell founded Food & Friends in 1988 when a friend, sick at home with AIDS, needed something to eat. What began as lunch for one has become 3 meals a day, for more than 1,300 individuals, six days a week. Over the past decade, we have moved from a cramped church basement to our own state-of-the-art kitchen and pantry facility and initiated new programs to meet the changing needs of people living with HIV/AIDS and other life-challenging illnesses in the Washington, DC, metropolitan community.
