Welcome to the

Bren Herrera Foundation

We are excited to welcome you to the Bren Herrera Foundation, a service-based nonprofit organization committed to serving underrepresented communities across the DMV area in the nations capital. We serve with empathy, dedication and love. 

"Service is deeply personal to me. As an immigrant from Cuba, I’ve witnessed the sacrifices my parents made, and experienced first-hand, how food scarcity can adversely impact lives. That awareness guides everything I do, because no one—especially a child—should ever go without food. At the Bren Herrera Foundation, we believe in the power of a healthy community.”

Bren + Friends Serve D.C. 2025

10th Anniversary!

Bren + Friends Serve DC is the program that ignited our purpose and laid the foundation for everything we do today. Launched in 2016, it began as a humble act of service—bringing together family, friends, chefs, and volunteers to cook and deliver freshly prepared, hot meals on Christmas Day for those experiencing food scarcity and housing instability across the Washington, DC region. Since inception, we have proudly served over 12,000 chef-prepared meals, creating a seamless, people-first experience rooted in warmth, dignity, and reliable execution.

Now entering our 10th anniversary year, we are energized to deepen our impact, scale our service footprint, and deliver even greater community value. We’re looking forward to the meaningful moments ahead and the amplified impact we will have this year as we continue our mission to nourish more people during the holiday season and beyond. We would love for you to celebrate with us this huge milestone this Christmas season!  Join as a volunteer or support as a donor!
