Miriam’s Kitchen Open for Dinner
Snowpocalypse Note: Miriam’s Kitchen will continue to be open for breakfast (6:30 – 8am) and dinner (4:45 – 5:45pm) regardless of snow for the rest of the week. Anyone seeking help is welcome at Miriam’s (2401 Virginia Avenue, NW) Monday through Friday.
After a much-anticipated wait, Miriam’s Kitchen — the Foggy Bottom soup kitchen made famous by a visit from Michelle Obama last winter — is now officially open for dinner. Since its founding in 1983, Miriam’s has served breakfast to tens of thousands of homeless Washingtonians, and is now expanding its services to help feed even more of the city’s needy residents.
A couple Fridays ago, I stopped by Miriam’s to observe the new dinner program. From the chatter I heard coming from the dining room tables set up around the room, I’d say the program has been a success so far.
