The PTMBA Association would like to begin 2021 by giving back to the local community, so we are partnering with the Capital Area Food Bank to raise $1,000!
The Capital Area Food Bank is one of the largest hunger-fighting organizations in DC, and they work with many local community partners to deliver nutritious meals directly to those in need. By donating just $1, the Capital Area Food Bank is able to supply two meals, whether that be via a local soup kitchen, a women's shelter, or a senior facility.
Please visit the below link to donate today. We thank you for your kind heart and generosity.
