What does it mean to Pay It Forward?

Since our renovations in 2014, The Potter’s House has provided free meals to anyone who visits us from 8am to 10am. We believe in providing people with quality meals in a space that treats everyone with respect and dignity. To do so, our Pay it Forward program has been supported by the generous donations of our neighbors and community members.

Demand for Pay It Forward skyrocketed during the pandemic to levels we’ve never seen before. We’re now providing nearly 2,000 meals a month and your gift is more critical now than ever. Donations of $10 completely cover the cost of food, labor, and supplies needed to provide daily meals. We work with another local nonprofit organization, Food Rescue DC, to add additional food donations to our daily menu.

By supporting The Potter’s House and more specifically, the Pay it Forward program, our neighborhood can come together in times of need. Our mission is to provide good food and conversation to all regardless of means.

100% of your contribution will go directly toward serving neighbors in need. All gifts are tax-deductible and deeply appreciated.

Consider a recurring monthly donation to show your support throughout the year!
