Very early this morning, the HAND community embraced the spirit of service by volunteering at SOME (So Others Might Eat), where we helped serve breakfast to DC residents experiencing homelessness. We were proud to contribute by plating and serving meals, pouring drinks, washing dishes, and sharing a few warm smiles + conversations along the way. It was a powerful reminder of the impact we can make when we show up for others. Thank you to SOME for welcoming us and for the vital work you do every day. We left inspired, humbled, and excited to serve our community. If you're looking for a meaningful way to give back, we highly recommend checking them out. https://lnkd.in/dfSNZyjB #communityservice #volunteer #teamwork

About us
HAND is a nonprofit membership collective comprised of over 450 institutions working across the private, public and social sectors to collaborate in the production and preservation of affordable housing in the Capital Region of Baltimore, Washington, and Richmond. Representing the ecosystem of partners who collaborate in bringing equitable communities to fruition, HAND works to disrupt the systems that perpetuate inequity in the communities we serve. We do this by embedding racial equity into our operations, practices, and programming, and activating our membership through policy forums and advocacy designed to drive impact for Black and brown communities residing at the sharpest intersections of inequity.
