Every day in our Nation's Capital SOME serves over 1,200 hot,
nutritious meals to homeless children, women and men.

Begun as a soup kitchen in 1970, SOME has expanded the scope
of its services to include rehabilitative services and permanent
housing; programs designed to lift people up and help them regain
control over their lives.

Empowerment--that is the word that best describes our work --
helping homeless people to help themselves.
