S.O.M.E So Others Might Eat Avon Fundraiser November 12, 2009

Let's partner and a portion of AVON sales through my online store will be donated to S.O.M.E (So Others Might Eat).

Restoring hope and dignity one person at a time

So Others Might Eat has served the District of Columbia for nearly 40 years,
working to

Meet the most basic needs of our city’s homeless and poor citizens
Empower those who are ready to make real and lasting changes in their lives
Advocate for stronger governmental solutions to poverty and homelessness
in the District

Over the years, we have helped thousands of people get off the streets, transform their lives, and learn to live independently. In 2008, with the help of caring supporters, SOME provided

271,707 hot nutritious meals for hungry children, women, and men
127,114 meals for the residents of our rehabilitative programs, senior center and shelter for abused elderly
16,334 showers and free clothing for homeless men and women
1,890 shelter nights for 42 abused and neglected elderly
11,358 medical and dental care visits to homeless people who could not afford a doctor or dentist
1,533 adults with individual and group counseling, case management and continuing care
144 homeless men and women with 13,728 transitional housing nights in rehabilitative programs designed to help participants maintain sobriety and find employment
120 homeless and extremely low-income women and men with 51,336 hours of intensive job training
614 homeless children, women and men with 176,742 nights of safe affordable long-term housing

I hope you will join me with helping SOME to continue to serve the hundreds of men, women and children who come to them every day for support, nourishment, guidance, and encouragement as they strive to turn around their lives.

Thank you.
