Grate Patrol
Uninterrupted
weekend breakfast distribution—24 years—unique to St. Paul’s Parish.
Volunteers prepare and distribute breakfast bags and hot coffee to 400 people
each Saturday and Sunday, 52 weeks per year. The area served is Foggy Bottom
between Georgetown and the Canadian Embassy near the National Gallery of Art.
In cold weather, many of the people whom we serve sleep
outside on heating grates, hence the name of the program.
>> Contact Tina Mallett about overall issues or questions (202-965-9324 or
tmallett@si.edu.)
There is an ongoing need for volunteers once a month or more in two areas:
Food Preparation
Six to twelve volunteers meet every Friday evening at 4:00 pm in the Dining Hall to make almost 400 sandwiches and assemble meal bags.

Food Delivery
At 5:30 am each Saturday and Sunday, four or more volunteers meet at the church, load two cars with coffee and breakfasts and distribute meals along specific routes. Each car has a driver and a jumper. Delivery takes about 2 hours. >> Contact Lisa Nichols (admin@gratepatrol.org)
