Welcome to

Atheists Helping the Homeless DC (AHHDC)

We work on the street where our clients are. We are addressing an unmet humanitarian need because we distribute socks, underwear, feminine hygiene items, toiletries, and gently used clothing to people experiencing homelessness, people who have told us they do not have them and that they need them. We help people who sleep rough, in tents, in cars, in shelters, or who couch surf, and we help anyone who asks.  We help about 1000 people annually, some of whome do not even have an extra pair of underwear. This is an innovative approach to address the immediate hygiene needs of the unhoused. We are addressing a societal need in a new way.
