Everyone deserves A Seat at the Table

This Christmas will not be the same as in years past. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted life for all of us and has required us all to adjust to a new normal. One thing the pandemic did not stop is the number of people who need food, care and support. Demand for our programs and services has already risen over 50 percent, and as the crisis continues, we expect those numbers to rise over the next several months.

That’s why we believe it’s important this holiday season, more than ever before, that everyone has A Seat at the Table.

Our seats may be different, and the way we get to the table may be different, but one thing the coronavirus has taught us is that we are all equal in the eyes of the Lord—whether in hardship or in abundance. And we still are called to care for our neighbors in need with the blessings we have been given.

A Great Campaign, A Godly Cause

Central Union Mission invites you to be a sponsor for our fundraising campaign, A Seat at the Table. Through this campaign, which begins now and concludes on Christmas Day, Saturday, December 25, we’ll be able to provide Christmas meals and much more for our hurting neighbors in need this winter.

Please consider partnering with us for this campaign. Your support will ensure we have enough resources to provide the food and festivities for every guest who walks through our doors. God bless ypou for caring. 

But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed. Luke 14:13-14

“COVID-19 has exacerbated food insecurity in the District; it is projected that the District’s food insecurity rate in 2020 will be at least 16% (up from 10.6%), with even higher rates among vulnerable populations, including the elderly, children, undocumented individuals, and unhoused individuals.” —DC FOOD POLICY CENTER (OCT. 2020)
