We plan manage and host year-round
community events to make the neighborhood a
more engaged, lively, and connected place.

Sunday Suppers

A Southwest tradition since 2017. Every Sunday in August, we host an intimate community supper at the Southwest Duck Pond Park. These casual get togethers bring together diverse neighbors to enjoy a performance, good food, and conversation. We’re grateful for the chance to gather together — and bring an interactive art installation to the Southwest Duck Pond.

Change starts with your neighborhood. In 2018, we partnered with the Southwest Neighborhood Assembly (SWNA) to launch Pocket Change, a community microgrant competition. Check in for details on upcoming events.

Meals

  • Meal Distribution

    In response to persistent food insecurity, the Southwest Business Improvement District is partnering with DC Central Kitchen and, occasionally, DC Public Schools to feed our community. Southwest residents can expect nutritious prepared lunches to be distributed by SWBID and our community partners every weekday.

  • DC Central Kitchen Prepared Meals

    Our partnership with DC Central Kitchen begins with prepared lunches. These meals are nutritious and safely prepared by DCCK, and brought to you by the SWBID team and our community volunteers. We distribute 150 prepared lunches every weekday.

    WHEN: Weekdays, 11am to 1pm

    WHERE: James Creek, Greenleaf Gardens in the courtyard, Greenleaf Senior, Greenleaf Extension

  • Monday Produce Bags

    Every Monday, the SWBID team picks up 150+ produce bags from DC Central Kitchen. These bags contain the building blocks for healthy, filling meals, mostly consisting of seasonal and surplus produce. They are distributed by our team, and by our wonderful community partners and volunteers.

    WHEN: Every Monday beginning at 11am until all bags have been provided

    WHERE: Greenleaf Gardens, Greenleaf Senior, Greenleaf Extension, James Creek, Syphax Gardens, Riverpark, Channel Square, and Telecourt.
