The Cathedral community is joining with Covenant Baptist United Church of Christ and the Episcopal Church of the Atonement (Capitol View) to provide backpacks and school supplies to youth in DC Wards 7 & 8.

We invite you to help in one of two ways — purchase backpacks and specific supplies and deliver them to the Cathedral on designated days and times, or, donate to Cathedral Cares directly. For information on specific supplies needed, or to donate directly, visit the Cathedral Cares page.
