Our Impact
Our Impact
Due to the outbreak of COVID-19, we were unable to run our normal camp in 2020. However, determined to keep supporting the Kenilworth and Mayfair communities in northeast Washington DC, Stride Camp partnered with World Central Kitchen, Jeffrey Wright, and The Grocery Game to support local businesses and provide meals to those in need.
We held a series of three different events throughout the summer and ended up distributing 875 meals in addition to raising over $9,000 for restaurants local to the Kenilworth/ward 7 area! None of this would have been possible without the generosity and support from all of our donors, so thank you! Please help us continue these efforts every summer by donating at the link below or click on the wusa9 logo to see our story covered on local news!
Given the success of this effort, we will now be hosting this program in the winter months.
Over the course of the summer, we distributed fresh, packaged meals in addition to masks, hand sanitizer, and water for individuals and families. Thanks to the help of World Central Kitchen, we were able to utilize local restaurants and businesses to create a full-circle benefit for these DC communities while still playing to the theme of our usual summer camp’s nutritional focus.
In the midst of the pandemic and nation-wide social injustice, we wanted to support the communities affected in and around the Kenilworth and Mayfair areas. We were proud to support both the local restaurant industry and our STRIDE camp community during these tough times.
