Volunteer for the 2013 Greater Washington Heart Walk! Did you know that cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 killer worldwide? In fact, someone dies from cardiovascular disease every 38 seconds! DCYP Kiwanis will be volunteering as cheerers at the Greater Washington Heart Walk on November 9, 2013. Over 12,000 residents from the Metropolitan Washington, DC area will come together on the National Mall to raise awareness and funds to help fight heart disease and stroke. Heart Walk presents a wonderful opportunity for our group to get involved in the battle against cardiovascular disease. To learn more about this event, we encourage you to visit: www.greaterwashingtonheartwalk.org. If you're interested in volunteering, please email DCYP.Service@gmail.com.
Clean Up At Miriam's Kitchen

We're starting a new project with Miriam's Kitchen this November. Miriam's Kitchen is committed to ending chronic homelessness in DC by creating meaningful connections with chronically homeless individuals, placing them in permanent supportive housing, and ensuring they have the necessary support to remain in housing. They advocate for permanent supportive housing as a long-term solution, while meeting short-term needs by providing healthy meals and high-quality social services to more than 3,500 chronically homeless individuals each year. In order to keep up with all of their work, volunteers are relied upon to keep their facilities in great shape. We'll be helping them with a big clean up on Saturday, November 23. The event time is 8 AM - Noon, however, we could end early if we have a lot of people. They will also provide pizza for all volunteers. To sign up to volunteer, email dcyp.service@gmail.com
