FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Washington, DC – This month, The Mario E. Dorsonville Foundation concluded their DC Homeless mission trips for the season. 

The Homeless Mission is one of three core initiatives by the Foundation that focuses on fostering connections and providing needed supplies to those experiencing homelessness in the district. On a bi-weekly basis, Homeless Mission volunteers visit various parks in the D.C. area, offering food, supplies, and friendship to those in need. Mission trip organizers bring an abundance of necessities for volunteers to distribute such as socks, coats, toothbrushes, hats and gloves.

The late Bishop Mario E. Dorsonville began this mission in 2013, which was formally established as a non-profit in 2018. 

“On each homeless mission trip we encounter 40-50 homeless individuals, providing comfort and friendship, with the help of 10-15 volunteers. This is all made possible by our dedicated group of volunteers, mission trip leaders, donors and partners in the community,” said Hank Brown, Director and Chief Executive Officer.
