Christel Hair shares an acrostic she made for the lovely Hannah Hawkins.

...For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in...

There were so many things to love about Hannah.

Ms. Hawkins worked tirelessly to address the issue of hunger in Ward 8 and helped launch the CAFB’s From the Ground Up in the Community.

D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser chose a Joyful Food Market to announce a recent appointment.

“With [the CAFB's] help, we’re not just pushing out food—we’re giving recipes and talking about health.”

Scott Sanders, Deputy Director of Joseph’s House, recently shared his shopping experience at the CAFB.

As we embark on a new year, it is a great opportunity to take the next step on a path towards healthy cooking and eating.

This past July, the Capital Area Food Bank and the Anacostia community lost a true hunger champion with the passing of the late great Reverend Roy Settles.

It’s more than just getting some free food. The people have great hearts and were telling us, ‘You are down now, but you can get up.’”
