Be the Change in DC

Be the Change in DC (BTCDC) helps the less fortunate through events, both social and service in nature, that are meant to give the general public a new perspective on the very people that they may walk by and ignore on a daily basis. By personally handing out much needed items to the homeless, Be the Change in DC’s volunteers interact with the homeless and see them in a different light. In helping out the homeless, BTCDC does not want compete with existing organizations, but rather work with them to fill in the gaps of taking a homeless person off the streets. We have partnered with organizations such as So Other Might Eat (SOME), the Shelter Hotline and Community Voice Mail to accomplish our goals.

In serving the community, our goal is to help the homeless get back on their feet and educate the general public on homelessness.

BTCDC is in the process of obtaining its 501(c) 3 status and could not be named an official beneficiary organization for the Walk. However, SOME (So Others Might Eat) is a terrific organization that shares our commitment to helping the homeless and we have chosen to direct our proceeds to them.

Fannie Mae's Help the Homeless Program is a community-wide program to raise funds and awareness in support of beneficiary organizations that work to prevent and end homelessness. This Program spans several months, culminating in the Fannie Mae Help the Homeless 5K Walkathon on the National Mall on Saturday, November 22, 2008. The Fannie Mae Help the Homeless Program has grown into the nation's largest fundraising event benefiting the homeless.

You can make a difference by joining our team and participating in Fannie Mae's Help the Homeless Walkathon on November 22, 2008!
