On May 23, 2026, I am leading a street outreach walk through the heart of Washington, D.C.. As the summer humidity kicks in, our neighbors experiencing homelessness face the daily struggle of staying hydrated, fed, and safe from the sun. We are hitting the pavement to meet them exactly where they are bringing nourishment, relief, and community support.
What We Are Providing
We aren't just handing out snacks; we are providing a complete "Summer Relief Kit" designed specifically for the intense DC heat. Each kit includes:
• A Fresh Meal: Hearty, hand-prepared sandwiches made fresh the morning of the walk.
• Essential Hydration: Cold water and electrolyte packets to prevent heat exhaustion.
• Sun & Heat Defense: Sunscreen and cooling items to provide relief from the rising temperatures.
• Personal Care: Hygiene essentials like deodorant, body wipes, and oral care to help our neighbors feel refreshed.
How You Can Help
Providing fresh meals and summer gear requires a community effort. We need to fund the ingredients for the sandwiches, the backpacks themselves, and the protective supplies inside.
• $15 sponsors one full Relief Kit and a fresh meal.
• $75 provides five people with a complete meal and essential summer supplies.
• $150 helps us scale our reach to even more blocks and provide extra hydration.
Your Impact
If you can’t be on the ground with us in DC, your donation ensures we have a meal and a kit ready for every person we encounter. Every dollar goes directly toward purchasing fresh food and supplies.
Thank you for showing up for the community and helping us make a tangible difference, one sandwich and one block at a time.
Blessings,
Imani Joi | Daughters of the King Network
