Thanks to the generosity of District of Columbia residents, AARP DC and the Capital Area Food Bank collected more than five tons - that's 10,000 pounds - of food in the 2012 Drive to End Hunger in DC food drive. That means 13,235 meals can be prepared for and by people at risk of hunger. That kind of food assistance is a lifeline to Ms. Bowman, a DC senior who receives food commodities.
