EDCJCC- D25 volunteers 2025

The Edlovitch DCJCC (the Washington DC Jewish Community Center) held its annual D25 volunteer day to help those in need on Christmas.  I documented volunteers preparing food, serving meals, donating blood, organizing parties and giftingiving, and singing holiday  carols at  Central Union Mission,  DC Central Kitchen,  Christ House Loaves and Fishes, Sasha Bruce Network's Allen House, and at the JCC itself. 

This was my 31st year covering this citywide mission of charity, of tzedakah.

Thank you to Mira Smith of the EDCJCC volunteer/social action program,  to the hundreds of volunteers, to the staff members of these caring social service agencies, and especially to my dear partner Ruth Stromberg, who once again got up before dawn and provided the caption material needed for the press.
