Today, just a few hours after city officials broke ground on the Nationals stadium(projectged to cost $611M), DC Centrl Kitchen has SHUT OFF food deliveries to al of our homeless shelters.

This is because they have received no support from the city and their main backers can no longer sustain the situation without help. Members of DAWN(the DC Anti-War Network) fed people today at Franklin shelter, but that's just one shelter on one night. We cannot do this every night at every shelter!

Still, if an activst group can for a couple hundred bucks in donations feed 200 people at one shelter one night,jist 1/1000 of the stadium budget($611,000) would surely be more than enough money to keep donated food flowing to our most needy citizens!

Since you have been so involved in the whole MLB situation, perhaps you could encourage the Mayor and other city officials to fund DC Central kitchen saying "We've got what we need, now it's someone else's turn."

Maybe someday in the future, when the homeless are considered as important as everyone else, we can break ground together on a new shelter building, kitchen facilities, etc!
