Volunteer Stories

Leon has been one of our most engaging new neighbor volunteers at The Commons, coming in nearly everyday for months and volunteering at our Martha’s Table Market.

I spent five years working at a non-profit agency that provided social services to the low-income community in California.  Being new to DC and now a federal employee, I really missed the sense of community working at a non-profit agency provided and the ability to directly touch the lives of those in need.
