WASHINGTON, D.C. (October 11, 2010) – Columbus Day saw a shortage of volunteers at D.C.’s Miriam’s Kitchen, but the Islamic Circle of North America was there to pick up the slack.
Founded in 1983 by a collaboration of The George Washington University Hillel Student Association, Western Presbyterian Church and United Church, Miriam’s Kitchen was created to provide care and services to the homeless in Washington D.C. Miriam’s currently helps D.C.’s 4,000 homeless men and women through individualized case management services and daily meals. Its volunteer efforts remain among the most distinguished of any social services group in the United States.
