    Description

    Lunch Donations - Columbia Heights, DC

    Please consider providing take away lunches for the 40 residents of our La Casa Permanent Supportive Housing facility.

    Full and complete information can be found on the Sign-Up Genius located at: https://tinyurl.com/LaCasaLunch

    • Please provide, at the minimum, 40 lunches so that every resident can receive a meal. Some of the guys could use an extra meal or we could hold a few over until the next day to ensure that folks are getting the nutrition that they need. Not all the guys at La Casa have funds so some folks need more than others.
    • Meals would need to be "ready to eat" upon delivery as there are no kitchen facilities at LaCasa. It would be best if the food was some kind of packaged meal. The men at LaCasa live in their own apartments so there's no communal dining area or common space to serve/distribute the food.
    • Curbside pickup is an option. When you're a few minutes away please give the LaCasa front desk a call and let them know you'll be stopping curbside and that you'll need assistance unloading.
    • Ideal drop off times are between 10AM and 2PM weekdays.

    What Is La Casa?

    La Casa is a 40-unit Permanent Supportive Housing program for men who have experienced chronic homelessness. Residents live in private efficiency apartments with full kitchens and baths, along with access to common areas. The program provides on-site case management, 24/7 support services, and individualized assistance to help each resident maintain housing stability. La Casa is operated by Friendship Place in partnership with the DC Department of Human Services.
