The Washington Post Helping Hand, a charitable giving initiative, raised over $410,000 for three D.C.-area nonprofits: Bread for the City, Friendship Place and Miriam’s Kitchen. The Post drew donations through an eight-week holiday giving campaign that included weekly columns by Local Columnist John Kelly about the inspiring ways these organizations are making a difference in the lives of people in the D.C.-area community. The Robert I. Schattner Foundation contributed $150,000 to Helping Hand for a second consecutive year.
The record-setting season’s donations went to directly to support each selected beneficiary. In addition to providing families with a turkey, groceries and a debit card for the holidays, their year-round services include the following:
