The Washington Post Helping Hand has raised $402,000 in its first season partnering with three new local nonprofits: Bread for the City, Friendship Place and Miriam’s Kitchen. Through donations from Washington Post readers, and a generous donation from the Robert Schattner Foundation of $150,000, Helping Hand exceeded its seasonal goal of $250,000.

“We are grateful for the support of Washington Post readers in helping Post Helping Hand far exceed its fundraising goal for the season,” said Fred Ryan, publisher and CEO of The Washington Post. “Since its inception in 2014, Post Helping Hand has raised more than $1.8 million for local charities fighting homelessness, poverty and hunger in our community.”
