"DC Street" Chronicles Homelessness in Washington

After volunteering in the SOME Dining Room, Azim Al-Sala'm, founder of Consider Someone Else, decided to donate a portion of the proceeds from the sale of his new single "DC Street" to help the hungry and homeless at SOME. The song describes the hunger and poverty that Mr. Al-Sala'm, a native Washingtonian, has seen in the city.

Bolling Courier Express Delivers for SOME

A veteran of the armed forces, Bolling Courier Express owner Melissa Bolling has always been committed to service. When she opened her courier service earlier this year, one of her first orders of business was to find a way to contribute to the community through her work. Since March, she has offered complimentary courier service to SOME, enabling the organization to conduct essential business while directing every possible dollar to its services for the homeless.
