After-Breakfast Program
The After-Breakfast Program gives our guests the opportunity to become part of a community--a community that fosters self-expression, empowerment and positive relationship-building. Our guests are invited to participate in group activities such as Art Therapy and creative writing workshops, geography and knitting classes, yoga sessions, and homeless advocacy groups each weekday morning from 8:15-9:45 am.

Evening Program
With the opening of our Evening Program in 2010, Miriam's Kitchen will become the first organization providing a consistent indoor dinner and case management program to both homeless men and women in downtown Washington, DC.  Guests will be invited to dine on a healthy, homemade dinner and meet with our Case Managers.  A Before-Dinner Program will also be offered, allowing our guests the opportunity to participate in therapeutic group activities.

Miriam's Kitchen was founded in 1983 in response to an urgent need for services for the homeless in downtown Washington, DC.  Now in our 26th year, we have helped thousands of homeless individuals attain a better quality of life and greater self-sufficiency.
