About Us

Deeds of Kindness Outreach Services empowers individuals and families to achieve greater health, stability, and self-sufficiency through education, peer support, advocacy, resource navigation, and community engagement. We build pathways to opportunity by connecting underserved populations with the tools, services, and support needed to create lasting, positive changes in their lives and communities.

We proudly operate in the historic edifice of First Tabernacle Beth-El, a vital part of the historic Shaw community in the Nation's Capital for over 120 years.

The heart of our engagement is peer support. Peers are individuals dealing with substance use and/or mental health challenges. Our services to the community are impactful and we continue to navigate individuals to community partners who assist us to get vital services to the residents of DC.

What we do may not appear unique. How we do it most certainly is...with love, compassion and care, allowing individuals to keep their dignity because humanity is right, not a privilege.

To make monetary donations, donations of supplies, or to volunteer for an event, email us at deedsofkindness@yahoo.com for more details.

Community Conversations

First Tabernacle Beth-El

401 New York Avenue, NW

Washington, DC 20001

LIVE. LONG. DC. is Mayor Bowser’s Strategic Plan to reduce opioid use, misuse and related deaths in our beloved city and we need to hear what the community- at-large has to say about recovery, treatment, prevention and overall wellness of residents.

The opioid crisis has hit every demographic, most families, and many friends and loved ones. We are looking for all community voices to be heard as we collaborate on solutions. This is an opportunity to have your point of view expressed in an open forum with various community stakeholders. FREE NARCAN (harm reduction) training and refreshments will be provided.

Deeds of Kindness partners with various community stakeholders to provide on-site navigation to recovery support, treatment options and prevention assistance. Community Partners include but not limited to Foundation for A Drug Free World, DC Department of Behavioral Health (DBH), CSOSA (The Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency), Samaritan Inn, Oxford House, and more.

If you are a non-profit corporation, a faith-based organization or government agency who provides services to those residents dealing with substance use disorders or if you need information on opiod use/misuse, this is the event for you.

If you in need and you wish to participant as a partner for this event or if you would like meet with us to discuss how we may assist as a volunteer, please email us at deedsofkindness@yahoo.com

Recovery Coaches are on-site and Certified Peer Specialists are always welcome to volunteer their time and expertise at any Deeds of Kindness Outreach events.

We look forward to seeing you soon at our next Community Conversation event.
