Lighten The Load is an organization that provides hot, nutritious food to homeless individuals and families throughout Virginia, Maryland and the Washington DC areas.  The organization was founded in 2017.  Meals are prepared and served on the weekends.  We've cooked meals for hundreds of homeless clients. We cook meals in shelters and sometimes in our own homes.  We’ve delivered hot coffee and soup on cold days to those who spent their nights out in the streets. 

 

Our mission is to simply provide food and support to local people that are hungry and are in need of a warm meal.
