Washington D.C. State Charity

Homeless Children’s Playtime Project

In addition to supporting 13 Southern charities that focus on meeting the basic needs of our communities, Taste of the South will also support a D.C.-based charity as a way to give back to our adopted hometown. This year’s selection is Homeless Children’s Playtime Project, a volunteer organization whose mission is to cultivate resilience in children experiencing family homelessness by providing transformative play experiences. Playtime Project brings a safe play space to homeless shelters around the city, creating ongoing play opportunities that nurture healthy development and connect families with support services.
