DCJCC volunteer effort: December 25th 2008

For the umpteenth year in a row, I documented the DC Jewish Community Center's annual December 25th volunteer effort. Over 1,000 volunteers serve in food banks, senior homes, homeless shelters, youth programs, at-risk womens' organizations, homes for the disabled, and many more similar institutions.

I was ably assisted, again, by Ruth Stromberg. Pictured sites include Food & Friends, Mother Dear's, DC Central Kitchen, Central Union Mission, New Endeavors for Women, Change, Inc., Christian Community Group Homes, and the DCJCC blood drive.

Photographs of walls and other phenomena revealed by light

The first picture was made at dawn on December 25th, in the parking lot of Food & Friends, in the 200 block of Riggs Rd, NE, Washington DC (they supply meals to the sick and needy).

The second was taken the same day, just before sunset, in the 1500 block of Q St. NW, also in DC.
