So Others Might Eat

So Others Might Eat

So Others Might Eat is a non-profit organization which seeks to help deal with poverty in Washington, D.C.. SOME (So Others Might Eat) provides food, clothing, and health-care services to the poor and homeless. In addition, SOME provides job training, counseling, and low-cost housing, and other services to "break the cycle of homelessness".

SOME was founded in 1970, by Fr. Horace McKenna, SJ, as a soup kitchen. Meals were served in the basement of the St. Aloysius Church on the campus of Gonzaga College High School on North Capitol Street. As demand for food grew, SOME moved to 71 "O" Street were it remains today. In addition to the soup kitchen, SOME runs several other facilities throughout the Washington Metropolitan Area.
