Lighten The Load is a non-profit organization dedicated to serving hot, nutritious meals to homeless individuals and families across Virginia, Maryland, and the Washington DC areas. Established in 2018, our volunteers prepare and serve meals exclusively on weekends. We have provided meals for hundreds of homeless individuals, cooking in shelters as well as in our own homes. We also distribute hot coffee and soup directly to those who spend their days and nights on the streets.

 

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