Community Pantry
​& Essentials Program​

Too often, families have to make difficult choices about buying food, paying rent, or providing medical care for their children. Mary House offers a free pantry twice a month stocked with pantry staples, fresh produce, and personal care items — because every family deserves access to life's essentials.

The program serves over 100 families each month from nine community-based organizations across the DC area, including Mary House families, with a shared commitment to supporting our greater immigrant community.

The Community Closet

Clothing is more than fabric, it's dignity, confidence, and belonging. When families come to shop the food program, they can also shop the Community Closet for clothes, shoes, and accessories for every member of the household, from newborn onesies to adult wardrobes, at no cost and no judgment.

Regular donations from generous supporters keep the closet stocked and full of options, neighbors taking care of neighbors.

In-kind donations are just as meaningful as financial gifts and go directly to the families in our programs. We accept donations to both our Community Pantry and Community Closet.
