Woodley House Food Pantry

Started in 2011, the Woodley House Food Pantry is open to all District of Columbia residents. 

Today, our pantry serves more than 100 households, with more than 600 orders per year. Open every Tuesday afternoon, we offer food staples, personal care items, household supplies, and fresh groceries to our program clients and neighbors-in-need.

Contact development@woodleyhouse.org to help.

Food Drives

The Woodley House Food Pantry relies on generous community donations to keep our shelves fully stocked. Organizing a food drive is a simple, fun, and effective way to help Woodley House combat food insecurity among our vulnerable clients and neighbors. Just collect items such as the products listed below and contact development@woodleyhouse.org to schedule a drop-off. Every item collected makes a real difference.
