Here are some ideas from a recent Washington Post article:

DC diaper bank is a great organization - not as food focused (although they do do baby food and formula) but they pair with other DC orgs to provide.diapers, wipes, and adult and kid hygeine products, among other things.

You can also send things directly to them via their Amazon wishlist.

Very familiar with Food for Others. It distributes a lot of food packs to kids through the kids' schools, which isn't happening that way now, but people are picking up food at FFO and the need is skyrocketing. Thank you, PP, for mentioning them, and thank you, OP, for caring -- no matter where you donate, you are helping someone.

Bump, please list other ideas that would make most impact. Thank you to all and the teachers ❤️ checking on kids and their families
