Restoring hope and dignity one person at a time

So Others Might Eat has served the District of Columbia for nearly 40 years,
working to

Meet the most basic needs of our city’s homeless and poor citizens
Empower those who are ready to make real and lasting changes in their lives
Advocate for stronger governmental solutions to poverty and homelessness
in the District

Over the years, we have helped thousands of people get off the streets, transform their lives, and learn to live independently. In 2008, with the help of caring supporters, SOME provided

271,707 hot nutritious meals for hungry children, women, and men
127,114 meals for the residents of our rehabilitative programs, senior center and shelter for abused elderly
16,334 showers and free clothing for homeless men and women
1,890 shelter nights for 42 abused and neglected elderly
11,358 medical and dental care visits to homeless people who could not afford a doctor or dentist
1,533 adults with individual and group counseling, case management and continuing care
144 homeless men and women with 13,728 transitional housing nights in rehabilitative programs designed to help participants maintain sobriety and find employment
120 homeless and extremely low-income women and men with 51,336 hours of intensive job training
614 homeless children, women and men with 176,742 nights of safe affordable long-term housing

I hope you will join me with helping SOME to continue to serve the hundreds of men, women and children who come to them every day for support, nourishment, guidance, and encouragement as they strive to turn around their lives.

Thank you.

LUCE began in 2000 as a one-man band when Tom Luce began writing songs in his bedroom in the foggy Richmond District of San Francisco. But it wasn't long before his self titled first CD gained immediate attention on Bay Area radio stations such as San Francisco’s KFOG. The album's single, “Good Day” was soon picked up in Hollywood and appeared in movies such as How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days and 13 Going On 30, and television shows like The O.C. and Alias. In 2003, Luce earned the band the California Music Award for “Outstanding Debut Album.” And so the band took to the road, and toured the US playing alongside bands like Sixpence, None The Richer and Goo Goo Dolls.
In the early spring of 2005, LUCE’s Sophmore album, Never Ending, was unveiled to a packed house filled with eager fans who welcomed the new music with open arms and plenty of excitement. Never Ending’s single, “Buy A Dog” found its way onto the USA Network’s Psych and the silver screen’s Frank, The Dog. In the fall of 2007, LUCE was awarded “Best Band You Should Know About” by San Francisco Magazine readers.
Despite a stroke of bad luck in which Tom's house burnt to the ground and the band's tour van and trailer with all it's gear were stolen, the band continues to persevere in the face of those crushing setbacks. In 2008, LUCE attracted the attention of an exciting new Bay Area based record label, Opus Music Ventures, and at the top of this year, became one of it’s first signing bands. With the powerful force of the young energetic label, LUCE now has full service publicity, management, a tour support team and is about to release their much anticipated third album, Corner of the World, this Spring. It is sure to take the band to new and soaring heights.

Funds raised from the event will support scholarships for students seeking their primary and secondary education in Kroo Bay, a slum inhabited by economic migrants and persons displaced by war in Freetown, Sierra LeonE

LOCAL NONPROFIT LAUNCHES FIRST ANNUAL EDUCATION RUN

Students, Kroo Bay Initiative Determined to Support Slum Despite Credit Crisis

DENTON – On Saturday, November 14, North Texans will help bring the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) to fruition – by running for them.

“We’re hoping North Texas will show up for a good cause – the right cause,” says Lindsey Bengfort, KBI’s president and co-founder, and a student at UNT. “People will be able to put their feet and, hopefully, their wallets to use in making the best education possible for one of the poorest communities in Africa.”

Participants in the event will pay $15 to run or walk at South Lakes Park of Denton. Registration is at 9:00 a.m. and the run will begin promptly at 10:00 a.m. Individuals are free to walk anytime from 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Volunteers will provide water free of charge to participants, and participants will receive a free t-shirt for registering.

Alhaji Saccoh, a board member who is from Sierra Leone, said, “I think this is particularly important right now with the global economy. Investing in education is investing in the future of the world. We need educated people to become innovative leaders and skilled workers so that they can become active participants in the economy. Education is a way to ensure better jobs and better lives for the people of Sierra Leone.”

Adds Ryan Schuette, KBI’s co-founder and finance chair: “We’re just trying to keep America’s promise from past international commitments to Africa. The G-20 met in London and hardly discussed support for developing countries suffering from a crisis they didn’t create. KBI wants to fill the gap between commitment and follow-through in Kroo Bay.”

The International Monetary Fund recently reported that the credit crisis would slash overall economic growth in Africa by half, to 3 percent annually, a devastating contraction that it warned will likely throw millions of people back into extreme poverty.

This comes on the heels of media reports indicating that numerous nonprofits, foundations and other charities are closing because of the credit crisis.

“You know, this is why we’re running,” says Bengfort. “If we don’t stand up for the most vulnerable in this crisis, who will?”

Started in 2008, KBI is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization committed to shoring up the education system in Kroo Bay. To learn more about the organization or the Education 4 Everyone run, visit http://www.kbinitiative.org.

Proceeds from the event will be donated to Women for Women (www.womenforwomen.org/ ), a non-profit organization which helps women in war-torn regions of the world get back on their feet and start rebuilding their lives. Currently, they are focused on Afghanistan, Iraq, Sudan, Kosovo, Rwanda, Colombia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Nigeria and Democratic Republic of the Congo. Some of these are places where our dance movements, costuming and jewelry come from. Using what women of the world have given us from our relative place of peace and safety, we can make real differences in the lives of other women. In exercising our freedom to dance in this country, we can help women around the world gain their own freedom from war, poverty and injustice.

Chicago—Melody Swink’s riotous one-woman comedy THE D-CUP DIATRIBES, makes its world premiere at the Gorilla Tango Theatre, 1919 N. Milwaukee, previewing November 27, opening Thursday, December 3 at 8 p.m. and running through December 19, 2009. The production is directed by Mark Contorno and stars Sara Tode.

THE D-CUP DIATRIBES, a new production by playwright and producer Melody Swink, is a witty and empowering celebration of womanhood and its fears and fantasies. Poignant, intimate, and triumphant, THE D-CUP DIATRIBES examines the diverse lives of six women and a young girl who internally struggle and externally compensate in a society obsessed with body image. From the anxiety of a girl’s pubescent transformation to the libertine life reminiscences of a 60-something former hippie wild child, this series of compelling and vulnerable monologues is a quirky exploration of women’s body perceptions in pop culture.

Hilarious and insightful, THE D-CUP DIATRIBES addresses topics ranging from size advantage and disadvantage; size enhancement and diminishment; mother/daughter expectations and inheritances; and the male marketing agenda as witnessed throughout the 20th Century. A dynamic story that embraces all shapes and sizes, THE D-CUP DIATRIBES will resonate with women of all ages.

The artistic team for THE D-CUP DIATRIBES includes Costume Design by Shiloh Aderhold; Music Video Production by Wayne Kumingo; Music Production by Vince Lawrence, Slang Music Studio; Lighting and Sound Design by Eric Price, assisted by Kim Kozak; and Art Direction by Melody Swink.

Melody Swink (Playwright, Producer, Singer/Songwriter) conceived THE D-CUP DIATRIBES three years ago, after coffee with a friend who had just received a lumpectomy. What ensued was a profound conversation that inspired the initial ideas behind the voices of THE D-CUPS’ women. Swink was raised in a rural town in California, where her passion for books and literature elevated her dreams from the harsh reality of childhood poverty. She proudly admits to transforming herself and transcending her past. After residing in San Francisco; Los Angeles; and Fisher Island, Florida, Swink migrated to the great jazz city of Chicago and has made it her creative hometown. Swink wrote every song on her debut jazz CD "Travel Me,” which boasted a National Top Ten Hit (FMQB - 4 Weeks Top 10, #6), "American Girl.” Her current release, "Today is Someday,” is a double CD (jazz/dance) that features stellar performances by three tiime Grammy Award winner, Ramsey Lewis. The CDs, housed in a 43-page Art Book under Swink’s art direction, were declared "A Grammy contender" by Urban Network Magazine. Swink penned the film score for indie comedy Fixing Tom for The Aspen Film Company. She is excited to present two new songs she wrote for THE D-CUP DIATRIBES, "The D-Cups Theme Song" and "Unfasten Me.” Proud to be in partnership with the Breast Cancer Network of Strength, Swink’s mission is to empower, uplift and aid in the funding and awareness of this worthy cause.

Mark Contorno (Director) is originally from Chicago. His theatrical career began in New York City, where he met producer Jerry Reneau. Renueau produced Contorno’s first show "This Crazy Life," for which he wrote the book, lyrics and music. Contorno’s Broadway credits include working with Joe Layton (Barnum, Richard Pryor Live on the Sunset Strip, Woman of the Year with Lauren Bacall). He returned to Chicago to direct, act and write for the theatre. Most recently he directed Mrs. Hyde and The Case of the Gaslight Buggerings written by Duane Scott Cerny at the Athenaeum Theatre, and has just finished performances in the play Euphoria written by Mark Ridge.

Sara Tode (the seven women) is originally from New Hampshire and recently relocated to Chicago from New York City. Her favorite roles include Olivia in Twelfth Night, Yasmin in Pentecost, Sarah in Speaking in Tongues, and Anita in West Side Story. Tode received her MFA in Acting from Penn State University.

THE D-CUP DIATRIBES runs from November 27 through December 19, 2009. The regular schedule is Thursdays through Saturdays at 8 p.m. All tickets are $20. A portion of ticket sales will benefit Breast Cancer Network of Strength. For tickets, call the Gorilla Tango Theatre at 773-598-4549 or visit www.gorillatango.com.

Is the franchise model an answer to these challenges? Proven, turnkey solutions with the potential to scale with support from the franchisor would seem to address these issues.
