Stay tuned to our website and social media for specific dates and details about how to participate.
What services does the foundation provide during the holidays?
One of our cornerstone programs is Bren + Friends Serve DC, an annual holiday service-based program. During this initiative, we go out into the community to serve up to 1,700 hot meals to those in need, ensuring they experience comfort and dignity during the holiday season.
What services in programming is the foundation working on other than the holiday program?
We are gearing up to launch two new signature programs per year until we reach a total of 10 programs. The nature of these programs will include:
- Food and cooking courses (online and in-person)
- Community consultations
- Programming for young mothers and children
- Scholarships
- Other services addressing emerging community needs
While food is at the cornerstone of our service, our ultimate goal is to offer general services in education, arts, and language to create holistic and sustainable impacts.
