Think Columbia Heights and you think of the only Target Store in the District, Tivoli Theater, the green line, row houses, and of course Thrive DC. Columbia Heights is one of DC's most diverse, lively, and growing neighborhoods, evolving rapidly and making a name for itself. Columbia Heights is also home to a number of organizations that work to support the homeless community in the District of Columbia, finding and serving the need. Read on to learn about several great organizations (and friends of Thrive DC) in the neighborhood, and keep checking back as we spotlight more great organizations in your neck of the woods.

Lift DC
LIFT clients and volunteers work one-on-one to find jobs, secure safe and stable housing, make ends meet through public benefits and tax credits, and obtain quality referrals for services like childcare and healthcare. Simultaneously, the LIFT experience pushes volunteers to grapple with our country's most challenging issues related to poverty, race, inequality, and policy.

Loaves and Fishes
Loaves and Fishes, a ministry of St. Stephen and the Incarnation Episcopal Church, has served lunch to the hungry and homeless on Saturdays, Sundays and federal holidays since 1968. Since most Washington food programs serve only on weekdays, the program offers a crucial service to its guests, some of whom travel across the city to be able to eat on the weekend. This incredible program partners with us here at Thrive DC so that individuals in need can come to our site 365 days a year to receive food.

Hermano Pedro Day Shelter
The Hermano Pedro Day Shelter is a multicultural day program serving men and women who are homeless during the hours of 7:30 am and 4 pm. The shelter serves breakfast and lunch, provides showers, collects and distributes clothing and provides on-site mental health services as well as case management. The Day Program is hosted in the basement of Sacred Heart Parish. This location also serves as a hypothermia shelter from November to March when temperatures drop to deadly lows.
