The Washington Post Helping Hand Raises Over $410k for Human Service Nonprofits in the D.C. Region

The Washington Post Helping Hand has raised over $410,000 for its covid-19 campaign with beneficiaries Feeding America, Meals on Wheels, No Kid Hungry and World Central Kitchen, reports The Post.

“We are thankful for the generous support of our readers and Washington Post employees. With their help, relief has been provided to medical professionals and at-risk groups in need of food across the country.” said Fred Ryan, publisher and CEO of The Post.

“Post Helping Hand was created to facilitate significant financial donations directly to human service nonprofit organizations in the Washington, D.C. region through Local Columnist John Kelly’s high-impact, in-depth narratives about those in need and the programs that assist them. The initiative will select its 2021-2024 beneficiaries in Summer 2021,” adds The Post.

This charitable giving initiative has raised almost $2 million for Washington, D.C.-area nonprofits focused on alleviating hunger, homelessness and poverty since its inception in 2014.
