Yale Club of Washington, DC covid-19 Relief Drive

Since the coronavirus pandemic hit the capital region, causing economic hardship and job loss for thousands of people, food insecurity has been on the rise. Experts predict that the number of people in need of food will increase by 20% as a result of covid-19. To help address this need, the Yale Club of Washington, D.C. is sponsoring a digital drive to benefit Capital Area Food Bank. Every dollar we raise is the equivalent of 2.5 meals. The response to this effort has been so overwhelmingly generous so far that we have raised our goal to $15,000 -- that's 37,500 meals for those in need! Join us and donate today!

Special thanks to Adam Gordon (YC ’88) and The Bristol Group PLLC, which is matching the first $500 of donations.

In a region as large as metropolitan Washington, ensuring everyone has access to good, healthy food takes a significant community effort—which is why Capital Area Food Bank partners with over 450 nonprofit organizations in DC and the surrounding region. Together, they provide 30 million meals to almost half a million area residents, every year. They also address the root causes of hunger through multiple education programs and innovative service delivery partnerships.
