Support Capital Area Food Bank’s Mission
Hi, I’m Mark Nensel, organizer of Informa's Washington DC Walk the World event on Oct. 2, 2026, and I’m rallying support for the Capital Area Food Bank. Their mission is crucial: to help our neighbors thrive by creating equitable access to food and opportunities through community partnerships. Every contribution, no matter how small, helps us combat hunger and uplift our community.

Here’s how your generosity makes a difference:

Providing nutritious meals to families in need, ensuring no one goes hungry.

Supporting programs that empower individuals with the skills and resources they need to thrive.

Join me in this important cause. Together, we can make a lasting impact in the lives of those who need it most. Please consider donating to support the Capital Area Food Bank’s ongoing efforts. Thank you for your kindness!

Lend a Hand, Support Capital Area Food Bank
Hi everyone! We are two young DC residents inspired to take action in light of the recent cuts to SNAP benefits and the many individuals who have spent weeks working without pay.

All proceeds will be donated to the Capital Area Food Bank. The mission of the Capital Area Food Bank is to support our neighbors in thriving by creating more fair access to food and opportunity through community partnerships.

Every contribution, big or small, makes a real impact. Even just a few dollars can help move this mission forward and reach those who need it most.

If you can’t donate right now, sharing this fundraiser is also incredibly helpful. Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity!

Help Feed the Children
I'm starting a GoFundMe for the Capitol Area Food Bank. We're facing a food crisis - families will go hungry, and supplies are already at risk due to disrupted harvests.

This will help. Any amount makes a difference.

Loudoun and Prince William are two of the wealthiest counties in the country. Let's use that to feed hungry children in our region.

Talia Egnal is fundraising
Challahs Against Hunger
Hi! My name is Talia Egnal, and I'm selling challahs this Rosh Hashanah to raise money to help the Capital Area Food Bank. I'm in twelfth grade and I live in the neighborhood. I've always loved baking, and over quarantine, I began making challahs every Shabbat. At some point, my siblings and I had the idea to sell challahs to raise money in this time of mass food insecurity.

We are charging $15 for each challah. All the money I get will go directly to the Capital Area Food Bank (i.e. none of your money pays for flour, eggs, electricity, and delivery costs). Each challah should provide around 30 meals for families in need. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdfRso1nO9tFPKmt2lvfZxofwcR0P-JEIRlWpkwOFMu5qQ92A/viewform?usp=sf_link

We’ll deliver the challahs to you on Erev Rosh Hashanna, September 15. After you've paid for your challah, please use the google form above to let us know your delivery method and your preferred type of challah (regular, with raisins, or vegan). Please write in if you would like to pick up outside Little Falls from 4:00pm-6:00pm.
