Volunteering with @wearefamilydc
We Are Family mobilizes a committed corps of volunteers to reach out to isolated inner-city seniors with free services, advocacy, and companionship, building a network of caring eyes and ears that enables at-risk seniors to age in place.

You can volunteer to deliver groceries any Saturday. It’s just a few hours & it makes a huge difference to seniors in our community.

Summertime can often mean summertime reading, or rereading. Here’s some recs that might possibly be relevant to some of your interests if you dig music like ours and/or music we dig… dig?😉

Titles listed below for reference. All are in print (both physically and digitally) and some are even available as audiobooks for those folks that like to be read to. @imackin likes to read along with audiobooks… just cuz. Also, @andrewdsacher has a book coming out in September called, ‘Emo Revival: Community, DIY, and Rebirth in Post-Hardcore and Emo (2008-2018)’ that’ll fit in quite nicely with these. Looking forward to it!

Another @wearefamilydc doc short photo dump 😍 We’re 9 days into shooting and it’s starting to feel like it’s really coming together! Just gotta lock down an interview WAF board member Dave Grohl and original seed donor @benjaminmadden (@goodcharlotteband gave us thousands from a @930club fundraiser when We Are Family was founded back in 2004).
