Look no further for a way to help local families in need this Thanksgiving! Our intern, Monique Currie of the Washington Mystics, tipped us off to Food 4 Families and our food drive was born.

We invite you to drop off non-perishable food items to any of our sales offices now through Sunday, November 20, to benefit NBC4's Food 4 Families.

All donations will be delivered to the Verizon Center the following day for a "food-a-thon" that provides baskets of food to families throughout the region so that they can enjoy Thanksgiving dinners.

NBC4 suggests the following items:

  • Canned vegetables (yams, carrots, green beans, corn)
  • Cranberry sauce
  • Apple sauce
  • Canned fruits
  • Soups (box and can)
  • Dry goods (stuffing, rice, macaroni & cheese, mashed potatoes)

Our sales centers at Capitol Quarter, Chancellor's Row at Brookland Metro and Old Town Commons will be happy to accept your donations.
