Try Change: Miriam's Kitchen

Tonight we are featuring one of the organizations we met at the Help the Homeless Walkathon...

Did you know....

That there are more than 6,000 homeless men, women and children in Washington, DC on any given night.

Of that total, nearly 1,200 individuals are chronically homeless--meaning they have been homeless for a year or more, or four or more times in the past three years.

Looking for ways to help the homeless in the DC area?

Here's a great place to start - Miriams Kitchen

Miriams Kitchen provides free, high-quality services to the homeless in the Nation's Capital every weekday morning through four core programs: Breakfast Program, Case Management Program, After-Breakfast Program and Arnold's Place Transitional Housing Program.

How can you help?- Here's just few examples of how you can help
